Get Windows 7's window-snapping tricks on your Mac with Cinch

I know some Mac users hate to admit that Windows 7 has something OS X doesn't, but the way Windows 7 handles window positioning is so slick that there's now a Mac app to imitate it. WIndows 7 calls it the Aero Snap, but Mac developer Irradiated Software calls it Cinch. With Cinch installed, you can drag windows to your screen edges and watch them snap into place.

Dragging a window to a screen edge will fit it to that half of the screen, either horizontally or vertically. Dragging a window to the top edge of the screen will full-screen it. If you drag a window back to the center of the screen, Cinch will restore it to its original size. Cinch is great for quickly getting windows side-by-side or on top of one another, and it even works on multiple-monitor setups.

If you're a keyboard-only sort of person, you can also check out Irradiated's other window management apps, TwoUp and SizeUp.
