Magnet Window Manager Reviews

Best 6 Mac Window Managers
Rectangle shows that you don’t need to dip into your bank account to get window resizer tools. This free Mac window manager lets you manage multiple windows using keyboard shortcuts, menu options, or by dragging and dropping. Just like Magnet, you can split your screen up into quarters, thirds, or halves.

Top 6 Window Manager Apps for Mac
Most window manager apps for Mac support multiple monitors. They can help you move windows between screens and create custom layouts for each monitor. Many window manager apps – such as BetterSnapTool, Magnet, and Rectangle – offer this functionality.

The 6 Best Mac Window Management Tools
Magnet supports up to six external displays in different orientations, including vertical orientation. You can get Magnet from the App Store for a $7.99 one-time fee, which is pretty reasonable, especially if you miss Windows 11's Snap feature.

Moom vs Magnet vs Spectacle
There are some tools to improve this on macOS. The two I have tried are Moom and Magnet. And lastly I tried Rectangle as well. They are very similar in the way that they intend to solve the same problem, but they differ in some essential parts.

  • Is there a way to quickly restart open apps?
    Probably overkill, especially given it's a paid app, but uBar (Dock replacement) has a shortcut that restarts an app: cmd+shift+click on the app icon. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Apple Silicon Is an Inconvenient Truth
    I use uBar, you can have all windows ungrouped on the bar and it should have the title for each window. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • Finally seeing the draw to Mac...
    There's always Ubar for an alt to the dock. It's Windows-esq. Https://brawersoftware.com/products/ubar. Source: over 2 years ago
  • How to make easier MacOS for my mom long time user of Windows?
    UBar could help quite a bit. It replaces the MacOS dock with a Windows-style taskbar. That along with Start, which is basically a Windows Start Menu for the Mac, and she should be good to go. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Multiple MacOS Docks or MacOS Dock Alternatives
    Here is what I´ve found elsewhere: uBar - Cost 30$ - I havent tested this, purely because I doubt I would be paying 30 bux for a dock, also from screenshots, it seems to be tailored to looking like a windows taskbar, which I am not looking for. Source: over 2 years ago
