Download Magnet 2.8.0 (Mac) – Download Free

magnet is a simplified macOS application that enables you to easily resize and reposition windows on the screen. In other words, Magnet makes it very easy to work with multiple windows at the same time by managing the size and position of multiple windows.

Quickly tuck your application windows into the sides and corners of the screen with drag and drop

The main feature of Magnet is its ability to help you snap windows to the top, bottom, left or right of the screen by dragging them to the edge of the desktop, and to help you snap them by dragging them to each corner to the corner of the screen.

By dragging them to the edge of the screen, the windows will occupy half of the screen; by dragging them to the corners, they will occupy a quarter of the screen. So you can neatly organize two to four windows on your desktop.

Support for controlling windows using global hotkeys

Additionally, Magnet provides a handy menu bar item where you can access all commands and view their associated global hotkeys. Another thing you can do is maximize windows by dragging them to the top edge of the screen.

If you want to restore the snap window to its original position, simply drag it from its position. This behavior is similar to that of Windows 7 (and later) operating systems.

A minimalist window management utility for Mac designed to keep you out of the way when you need it

Additionally, Magnet can be set to ignore Safari and start automatically at login if you prefer. The app also comes with a preferences window where you can set all global hotkeys for each action, although they come with predefined hotkeys by default.

All in all, the Magnet application provides an elegant solution for managing the size of each window displayed on the desktop. With a simple drag to the edge or corner of the screen, you can organize your applications the way you want and take advantage of all the screen real estate on your Mac.
