Magnet Window Manager Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Ask HN: Anyone know workarounds to MacBook Air M2 missing dual-monitor support?

  * a cheap USB-C to (Mini-)Display port adapter will allow you to drive two monitors and the laptop panel simultaneously. I have no problem driving the Ultrawide at 3440x1440@100Hz via HDMI and/or Displayport , though without the convenience of USB-C/Thunderbolt.

  That's too slow for power users. I run Magnet and do everything with keyboard shortcuts (although you can drag to screen corners too!). Also works with multiple displays and moving windows between them. Source: about 1 year ago

• Questions about MacOS

  Most of my workflow could replicated under Mac. For the "horrible" window management I use amethyst (auto tiling) and Magnet (windows like) for search I use raycast and for software management I do use the cli with homebrew, mas and ports. The cool thing with homebrew cask you can install all programms from the web that aren't in the App Store and the App Store apps will be updated via mas. You can even update...

  I mean, like, whatever I have taking up most of the screen, everything else is just behind it, but not minimized. And then I just use mission control to move between windows.
