FOSS, simple, convenient. I abandoned the closed source equivalent that I had paid money for, because I prefer FOSS whenever possible.
productive, lightweight, intuitive to use
As a new comer to Mac, this soft really scracth one the most terrible itch i had by switching to MacOs. Plus, it's really simple to install and get running. My only regret is that it isn't support the "Arrange" mode where you can automatically fill the second half of the screen with another resized window (or i didn't find how to)
Open source and never crashed!
Awesome. Super customisable... I'm not using my mouse at all anymore to move windows to different screens and screen locations.
I was worried about moving from Windows to the Mac because I'd miss WindowsGrid (which is better than the built in windows management on Windows). Rectangle is way better than WindowsGrid!
Amazing alternative to Magnet. Just a really detailed free and open-source window manager give it a go I swear it will blow your mind that it is free.
HOW IS THIS FREE? 😮 Seriously. I've been using Mosaic for probably a year or more now and it's so buggy, I find I have to redo an action over and over before it 'sticks'. Rectangle just WORKS and the hotkeys are far more intuitive than any other window management tool. Fantastic tool - very happy 😃
