The 6 Best Mac Window Management Tools

However, Veer has limited window management options compared to other apps. You can only snap windows in 12 different variations with the provided shortcuts.

macOS Setup after 15 Years of Linux
Since a few people already have mentioned Rectangle for Window management, I wanted to point out that there is also a payed version of it called Hookshot (https://hookshot.app/).
