Magnet is easily one of the best mac apps i've ever purchased - makes window management so easy and it works great every time. Just Command + Shift and then you can pick any portion of the screen you want the window to go to.

That paired with multiple desktops does the trick for me! Highly reccommend (not sure if it's okay to share URLs? sorry in case it's not):

Is it different from Rectangle? (I've been using it for ages)
looks pretty much identical!
Both apps look like a slightly less flexible version of Divvy (which I've been using since 2010):

However, they're also cheaper ($0 or $4.99 vs $13.99).

We can do this natively in macos, isn’t it?
Yes, mostly, since macOS 15
Yeah I guess, just a bit clunky I think. For $5 Magnet is awesome!
No. Mac window management is inexplicably awful.
