Just squeezing on top of an icon to close the app is a breeze compared to right clicking and selecting "quit," using Command + Q, or APP NAME -> Quit.

What an amazing product! I started by buying a trackpad out of curiosity and started to use swish alongside. 8 months later I haven't even touched the apple mouse and use several of the basic gestures all the time such as minimise, maximise and with key add windows to parts of the screen or even between...

Stays out of sight until you need it. Has a lot of gestures to use, all of which you can turn off and keep the most relevant ones on per your workflow. Haptic feedback. Memory utilization on my M1 MacBook never exceeds 60mb.

I tried so many apps to control the windows, but this is the best one. It will take time to learn how it works in the first time, but it is not a problem.

Absolutely love this app. Literally cannot imagine using a mac without it. After having it, I can't believe Apple hasn't built it in themselves.

Arrange windows intuitively with gestures. Unique features: • Drag divider between snapped windows to resize them together. • Meaningfully preconfigured. • Sixths and even ninths easily spatial placeable; good on the big screen.

Saves me at least 1/4 of the time I work in my MacBook! A must have for every trackpad user out there. Why didn't Apple come up with this?
