Window management for macOS with keyboard shortcuts and drag-to-edge snap areas

About Rectangle
Rectangle is a window management app for macOS, based on Spectacle. It lets you move and resize windows with keyboard shortcuts, or by dragging a window to an edge or corner of the screen and releasing it when the snap footprint appears.
It suits anyone who works with many windows at once and wants a tidy layout without resizing each one by hand. Optional tiling actions arrange the windows on a display into rows or columns, and window animation is available as an experimental setting.
Highlights
- Keyboard shortcuts for moving and resizing windows
- Snap areas: drag to a side for halves, to the top to maximize, or to a corner for a quarter
- Bottom-edge snap areas for thirds and two-thirds of the screen
- Tile windows in rows or columns, with separate shortcuts for each
- Optional animated snapping and a blurred snap preview, both off by default
