Moom Windows Manager Mac review
When the next version of macOS arrives this fall, it will bring a bunch of neat "windowing" features that will make using your computer easier and less annoying. These new tiling and auto-snapping features may be new to the Mac, but they're old news to users of Microsoft's Windows, and Mac users have had third-party apps like Many Tricks' Moom for years. But with Sequoia's new windowing tools, and a brand new version of Moom now available, the Mac windowing scene is heating up.
"Yes, if all you want are some basic window arrangement features, you'll be able to get that from Sequoia — but if you want customizability and functionality that goes far beyond what Apple will ever provide, Moom will deliver." writes veteran Apple journalist Jason Snell on his Six Colors blog.

But in reality, most of us are constantly shuffling windows as we switch between documents and apps.
