Last week I made a post about my solution to window management.

Some of the comments were people sharing their window management solution so I thought I'd give people another opportunity to share.
What is your window management solution?

On macOS: native multiple desktops; Moom; Witch (by Many Tricks); and there is also Brett Terpstra's Bunch.
I like the idea of using Bunch but I never do because it feels too complicated; requires an elaborate setup; and seemed to act weird whenever I started to use it.
Moom is awesome, and so is Witch.

I fire up Mac OS X 10.5.
Lacking that I use lots of monitors, turn off window snapping, swap the ctrl and alt keys. I cringe a lot. Why can't windows store position and size hashed to monitor layout? I get that PC hardware is janky but why the random monitor layout? I never want mirroring, why is mirroring the default? Why would I want 2K resolution on a monitor that can do 4K? I could go on.
I am adept with the mouse so I have come realize that we all have different preferences.

I use the mouse a lot. I am using a home made [0] app that gives me dropzones when I move a window. The dropzones show up AT the mouse, I can more or less flick the window to where I want it without moving it anywhere or using the keyboard. Although I have not set it up on my newest macbook yet, and I find the default behavior OK.
I do use hot corners extensively to switch between apps and app windows. Can NOT live without them.
[0] It's actually a modified version of an old Rectangle version

Notion[0], tabbed, static tiling window manager. Everything in its place and a place for everything.

I've managed to live 61 years without learning what a Window Manager was until today... I've used the Microsoft Windows style floating window manager forever, and always thought of the tiling ones as some weird quirk, and a thing to quickly get disabled.
Thanks for prompting me to learn something new today. Usually I only have one application full screen at any time.

It's still rough around the edges. But best solution i've found so far.

my window management solution is more monitors :P
May I suggest updating your website though? its the main landing page and what converts visitors to users. Sex appeal of a website is a massive selling point, so might be worth spending some time spicing it up a little, maybe a clearer image of how your app works?

I'm on macOS and have an app I wrote to let me drag move windows while hold command + Ctrl and move the mouse, and then command + shift + Ctrl will resize windows
