You need to call out the Raycast search box, enter the desired window adjustment method, such as “Left half”, and click the corresponding function option to adjust the currently active window to the corresponding area. On Raycast, using the window adjustment function, if you don’t set the shortcut keys, it will not be more convenient than Magnet.

Click the icon in the status bar or drag it manually (after all, it doesn’t need to be so precise). Occasionally, it may require 1/3 of the screen.

In contrast, the open-source Rectangle is the master, including all the adjustment methods of the previous two, and even 1/6 split-screen, which is slightly abnormal, and it is probably only available on ultra-wide screens.Ĭombining with my own usage habits, the only four I use most often are “left half screen”, “right half screen”, “maximize” and “window centered”. Compared with Magnet, there are even more adjustment methods, such as maximizing height, maximizing width, half-screen centering, etc., but it also lacks the “window restoration” in Magnet. Raycast window adjustment integrates 20 window arrangement modes. Raycast has added two default function extensions in the v.1.3.0 version update, dictionary, and window management, which can be manually turned on/off as needed.

After all, on macOS Big Sur, there is not much space in the status bar. Of course, there is also a good free alternative-Rectangle, which can quickly adjust the window arrangement through shortcut keys.īut when Raycast added similar functions, I ruthlessly abandoned Magnet. I bought it in the Mac App Store and thought it was a great value. Magnet is a very easy-to-use window adjustment software on macOS. In the recent version of the update, Raycast continues to enrich the default integrated functions, of which the window adjustment function that surprised me the most, can basically completely replace Magnet. The software introduced by Handsome Daddy today: Raycast, can not only completely replace the “Spotlight” of macOS but also can achieve more functional expansion through script commands.
