This utility is a must-have for any MacBook user. It has fundamentally transformed how I interact with macOS. With extensive customization options, it stays conveniently in the background & exceeds expectations for a window management app.
I highly recommend purchasing a license for your friends and family. Once they start using it, you'll wonder how you ever lived without it.
Great app, but I really miss the quarter split on a wider screen. I often want to place the main window in the center half and use the left and right quarters for something like work chat. Option to reassign tertiary modifier from splitting in ninth to splitting in quarters would be soo nice.
Great product, except that it silently stops every once in a while. I always have to restart it manually.

Review of Swish
This app has become so deeply and organically embedded into my Mac that I often find myself lost on other macbooks when I try to organise windows. It's really easy, and addictive to use.
It is interesting. Necessary to have on your MacBook. Snapping windows is easy on macOS!
I love Swish. It is part of my everyday experience in Mac and I miss it when I use a Mac that does not have it. Please keep it going forever.
This app is the sole reason I use a trackpad, even on my desktop setup. It's the most intuitive window manager for macOS by a long shot.
Main issue with Swish is it conflicts with BetterTouchTool. Which BTT is a more valuable app, so I'm unable to use Swish. With both apps running, it causes my trackpad to stop working randomly. Once Swish is closed, all works as expected.
Support is non-existent. I attempted contact nearly several weeks ago in regards to the issue mentioned above. Have not received a single response.
Rather disappointed with the conflict between this app and the other. As I would have preferred to use Swish for window management instead, and BTT for 99.9% of everything else.

Hi Marshall,
sorry for the late reply here, I don't get notifications. I can't find any email from "Marshall", are you sure you sent it to the correct address (info at highlyopinionated dot co)?
Regarding interference with other apps, you can always try disabling the "Active Event Listener" via Preferences → Advanced, then Swish passes on all touch events without modifying them.

This is how Apple should have designed window management (and I wouldn't put it past them to include this functionality in a future OS release) - this is simple, intuitive, and addictive My one gripe - it is not keeping up with Apple OS releases. It crashes often with OSX Ventura, sometimes making it unusable.
