  I use:

  Cinch - Looks similar to Magnet, so Magnet looks like a great buy
  Size Up - Due to keyboard shortcuts which I much prefer

  Does Magnet support keyboard shortcuts?

    I believe they toke this idea from windows. don't have much knowledge in windows but I remember in uni when you drag the tap to one of the sides, it will makes it half of the screen.

    Yeah, this is built into Windows since Windows 7 I believe. Just drag a window to the screen edge.

    It used to just be left and right (and maximize), but in Windows 10 it's also corners.
    Keyboard shortcuts are Windows key + direction.

        Select a window of a program eg Word, browser, email etc.

        Press Windows key and then an arrow key. So if you want to send the window to the right press the right arrow key etc.

        The windows key is on the left hand side of your keyboard between the CTRL and ALT keys.

        In Windows 10 when you send a window to one side of the screen it'll give options of which other open program you want to send to the other side.

        Hope this helps.

  There's also a free and open-source project called Spectacle that does the same thing, but I prefer Magnet as I'm more used to the keyboard shortcuts.

    Is it only a matter of shortcuts? I use spectacle app, it's alright.

    BTW, it's supereasy to redefine shortcuts in spectacle.
