Plumb Alternatives

Plumb is described as 'Is designed to reduce the time spent manually moving windows on your desktop. With higher resolution and larger monitors becoming the norm it’s common to have several applications open at any given time — none of which really need 100% of the screen' and is a Window Manager in the os & utilities category. There are more than 25 alternatives to Plumb for a variety of platforms, including Windows, Mac, Linux, PortableApps.com and File Explorer apps. The best Plumb alternative is BetterTouchTool.

    Ever try to size a window so it just touches the edge of the screen? It’s tedious (at least for me). FreeSnap allows you to instantly resize any window edge to the corresponding screen edge. Want that window to touch the right edge of the screen?
