BetterSnapTool for Mac is a handy utility that lets you automatically resize windows by dragging them to different areas of the screen. You can snap them against the sides or the corners, and you can even set custom window sizes and placements for certain specific situations.

BetterSnapTool transforms how you arrange your windows. Here are some of its main features: You can drag windows to specific areas on your screen, and the tool automatically adjusts their size and position. This function is handy for maximizing windows or lining them up side by side by simply moving them to the screen’s edges. You can also split your screen by resizing windows to half or a quarter of the screen for more efficient space usage.

If you need more control, BetterSnapTool provides it. You can create custom areas on your screen to place windows, which is useful if you have a unique setup. It also supports multiple monitors, making it easier to manage more space.

BetterSnapTool is built to boost your productivity. It lets you set up your own keyboard shortcuts for quick window snapping. There’s also a handy popup menu that shows all the ways you can arrange your windows, making it easy to see your options at a glance.

You can also customize BetterSnapTool to fit your preferences. You can change its appearance and how the snap previews function. You can even set what happens when you double-click the top bar of a window or right-click the minimization buttons.

Pros

  • Smooth functionality: This app works just as advertised, and when you snap it against the edge of the screen it will immediately resize to preset parameters. Depending on where you drag the window, it will react in a different way, and the interface descriptions make it easy to see what will happen in different cases, so you can get the result you want.
  • Customizations and shortcuts: In addition to the standard set of window sizes and shapes that come preset with the program, you also have the option of creating your own. You can set a particular size and shape for a window, and then you can assign it a command or hot key for quick access whenever you need it.

Cons

  • No help: There is no Help feature to go along with this program, and there is also not much in the way of support. While the app does work well, there seems to be nothing you can do if you run into a problem, which is unusual for a paid program.

Bottom Line

BetterSnapTool works well and provides a convenient service for helping to keep your screen clear and organized as you work. You can tailor its functions to suit your specific needs, and the only major drawback is that there is little help to be found if you do need it. For a $1.99 investment, this app provides more than enough functionality to make it well worth it.
