Rectangle vs Built in Mac snapping

Raymond Lin · Monday at 14:42

I haven't installed Rectangle on my new Mac yet but am I the only one not liking the built in snapping from the OS as much?

I use Rectangle at work, it seems to snap to the sides easier, it also snaps right to the edge whereas the Mac built in snapping leaves a gap. Also a couple of instances it shoved the window way up the screen where I can't grab the top bar making unable to move the window with the mouse. Having either to close the app completely or using keyboard shortcuts to maximise it and then closing it again.

System settings > Desktop & Dock > disable Tiled windows have margins.

I'm using the in built tool, I used to use Magnet and before that Rectangle. I don't really have any issues with it.

I've never snapped a window anywhere on any operating system so I'm just going to back out here

Next you're going to tell me you don't know what sliced bread is.

So you’re actually one of those people in the Apple adverts that just opens a window and leaves it at whichever size it is?

:eek:

I open an app/window/whatever, resize it and put it where I want it. Next time I open it, it opens where I left it.

I guess that’s better, but damn. Would do my head in not having magnet.
