BetterTouchTool
Window snapping & window management for your Mac
Arrange windows by dragging them to screen edges, pressing a shortcut or performing a gesture — with fully custom snap areas, window switching and more.
Drag a window to the top of the screen to maximize it, to the left or right edge for a half, or into a corner for a quarter — BetterTouchTool brings fast, configurable window snapping to macOS.
Beyond the standard layouts, you can create your own custom snap areas anywhere on any display, resize and move windows with keyboard shortcuts or while holding a modifier key, and switch between windows with a customizable window switcher. Every window action can also be triggered by trackpad gestures, mouse buttons, a Stream Deck key or any of BetterTouchTool's 600+ triggers.

- Custom snap area on a second display for your notes app

Frequently asked questions
🪟Does this replace the built-in macOS window tiling?
You can use both side by side. BetterTouchTool's snapping is much more configurable: custom snap area layouts, per-display setups, and snapping can be triggered by any gesture, keyboard shortcut or other trigger — not only by dragging.
🪟What is the difference between BetterTouchTool and BetterSnapTool?
BetterSnapTool is a small, standalone window snapping app on the Mac App Store. BetterTouchTool includes all of its window snapping functionality — plus hundreds of other features.
🪟Can I snap windows without touching the mouse?
Yes. There are built-in actions for maximizing, halves, quarters, centering, moving between displays and much more — each can be bound to a keyboard shortcut, gesture or any other trigger.
🪟Does it work with multiple monitors?
Yes — snapping works on every connected display, and custom snap areas can be configured per display.
