macOS Sequoia 15 makes it possible to organize and/or adjust windows on Mac in different ways.

I don’t have macOS Sequoia, what can I do to have these options?

A few macOS versions I’ve discovered before A very interesting application called Magnet. It’s the perfect complement to have natively on macOS. Fortunately, Apple hasn’t removed it from the App Store yet Although there is a compelling reason to consider this It is an application that can run on older Macs They can no longer be upgraded to Sequoia.

Magnet Features

One The price is 4.99 euros and best of all it is a single paymentnot a subscription. What we saw before about how window snapping works in macOS Sequoia is almost identical in Magnet, including keyboard shortcuts.

There’s only one thing Magnet is better at than the native macOS Sequoia feature (which is why I keep using the third-party app), window adjustment is literally done to the limit and leaves no lines or borders It allows the wallpaper to be visible when placed.

If you don’t have it yet, don’t wait any longer to buy it, download it and see the magic if you don’t have macOS Sequoia. Another alternative to macOS Sequoia is Stage Manager and we explain how it works here.
