About Rectangle Pro
Rectangle Pro is the paid edition of the Rectangle window manager for macOS. Windows can be moved and resized with keyboard shortcuts, snap areas or a single key combination that throws a window to one of 16 sizes and positions, even when it is not in focus.
It adds custom sizes and positions, snap targets anywhere on screen, a configurable snap panel, workspace layouts that arrange several apps with one shortcut and can trigger when displays connect, windows hidden at the screen edge, and a customizable menu bar menu.
