Easy windows management with multiply configurations

Magnet for Mac allows you to split the screen into halves or quarters by just dragging and dropping windows. I love it and it works as advertised and I haven't really found any glitches with it. Another popular app is Moom. Moom doesn't use drag and drop though. Hope this helps!
TechRepublic
Magnet, CrowdCafe's macOS window manager, may be the most helpful third-party application I've ever used. The unobtrusive tool helps keep my Mac desktop organized. With support for up to six desktops, the application enables moving and automatically resizing windows via keyboard shortcut commands, the menu bar, or simply dragging windows to new locations.
Lifehacker
We've seen a few different tools for Windows-esque window management on Mac over the years, but none of those ever fit well with my workflow. Magnet is an app that's been around for a while, but a few recent updates have finally made it the app I need.

Indispensable window management for Macs

Anthony Da Mota- I upvote things that matter.
I cracked this app. I know, what a shame. But when I had to upgrade my MacBook Pro, I noticed that was the core of my productivity. So I bought it. I prefer it to Divvy or any other management tool, you can absolutely configure anything.
Stefan Aichholzer- Software adventurer & epilogue writer.
Absolutely!
Sandro Mancini- Seek max(utility) & min(fuss+cash)
Spectacular window manager for Mac that stays completely hidden (just hover over the maximize button in any window and wait) yet allows quick access to the most common screen sizes defined by you.

A.Fairiz- Founder, Recite Lab
I've used the version 3 and I absolutely hated it. It makes my Mac felt like Windows. Maybe in your case, that's a good thing.
Allan B- Tech enthusiast.
Must have app for Mac power users. It's highly customizable so you're almost guaranteed to find a setup you love.
Allan B- Tech enthusiast.
If you use a Mac, this app is really great for productivity. Has way more features than the normal dock, and can also be set as a taskbar.
iMore
Some folks just don't like the Dock on their Mac. It's a bit awkward and it's it's hard to tell what you have open without pressing the Dashboard button. That's tedious and can interrupt workflow like nobody's business. But you would never switch to a PC because blech.
9to5Toys
Contrary to popular belief, Macs are customizable with the right tools. uBar 4 replaces the original dock with a feature-packed toolbar. This neat utility is used by Facebook and Google employees, and it's now just $14.99 (Orig. $30) at 9to5Toys Specials. This app is all about customization, giving you the power to create your perfect desktop.
