Magnet App
Revisiting a popular Productivity tool
July 1, 2022 by cryan.com
Back in 2018, I wrote about Magnet - an awesome productivity tool for multi window management. Since it's been a few year, I thought I do a quick follow up Post.
Four Things I Learned
- The default settings are simple enough for my needs. Magnet makes it easy to have two application windows open side by side. It's easy to remember to use Control-Option-Right Arrow to line the current window to the right side of the screen.
- Drag a window to the corners to make a quarter-size window, and drag a window to the display side to do halves. I use it so much that when I use a different computer, I get frustrated that the tool isn't available.
- You can't configure it as much as you can with the Mosaic app by Light Pillar.
- Magnet cost $7.99 in the App store - while it may seem like a lot of money, it's a good tool to have. I purchased the app back in July 2018 and I feel that I got my money's worth. I can't tell you anything else that I purchase in July 2018 that I still use today.
