Windows 7 Aero Snap Feature on Mac

By Jeremy Blake on March 24, 2011 2 Comments

I’ve just re-converted to Mac (for probably the third time). Coming from Windows 7, there were several probably two features that I missed significantly when I made this last and most likely final switch to Mac. One of those features was the ability to snap windows to the side of the screen (windows aero snap).

I couldn’t stand manually dragging the windows on my Mac to fill the screen, or to fill half the screen when trying to compare two separate documents next to each other at the same time. Turns out, some crafty devil created an app called BetterSnapTool that mimics the Windows 7 Snap window resizing functionality beautifully, if not better than Windows does it. For only $1.99, you can’t go wrong with this app.

I’m not making a penny if you buy this app, just thought I’d share. I don’t want your pennies. I’ll take dollars, though!

P.S. this software is better & cheaper than Cinch. I tried Cinch before BST and BST is far superior. Oh, and did I mention, cheeper?

    Ya man, I’m a new Mac user…. heard about it from a buddy of mine i talk to on skype. She said BST is a must have tool.

    I LOVED the snap feature on my old WIN 7 Laptop, so when i found out this was like a better snap tool, I got it.
