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. Moreover, the options in the macOS menu bar only show the shortcuts greyed out, and you can't select them either. You can only access them by pressing the key combination, which is Control + Command, by default.

Ask HN: Best Hacks for a Ultrawide Monitor?
I have a 49 inch CRG9 and the best recommendation for window management is Yabai (https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai). Yabai is a greedy window management solution that tries to fit opened applications in given space and skhd let's you easily jump between those using keyboard shortcuts. This has massively improved my ultrawide experience. Only disclaimer is, configuring yabai has a slight learning curve. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago
Is there an app that does this Windows feature?
Want something free that's better than tiling on Windows? Yabai. Source: 5 months ago
macOS Containers v0.0.1
SIP is a feature that protects you from malicious actors with root (admin) access on your device. After they've encrypted your photos and drives and changed your passwords, it prevents them from making your machine unbootable by deleting or altering system binaries. As a side effect of this protection, you give up certain freedoms to customize your system. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago
Ask HN: Why does Apple refuse to add window snapping to macOS?
This is disproven by the fact that Yabai [1] can instantly swap spaces with SIP disabled. [1] https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago
Ask HN: Why does Apple refuse to add window snapping to macOS?
I feel the same way. I would much prefer no animation at all, and an instant transition to another space. Apparently this is possible with [yabai](https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai), but it requires disabling system integrity protection which I am personally uncomfortable with. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

Switch from Windows
Moving windows between screens, is there an app or shortcut that I am missing that allows for this? I never knew I used this feature this much on Windows. I already checked out VEEER(https://veeer.io) but it cannot move between monitors. Source: 10 months ago
[Serious] I don't get why people like Mac and I feel like I'm missing out
If you find the native window management lackluster (like I do), you can install a window manager like Amethyst, or yabai, veeer, or many others. Source: 11 months ago
