A good window manager for Mac will allow moving, resizing and rearranging application windows quickly. It will allow customizing how windows are handled, have keyboard shortcuts for performing window manipulations quickly and allow snapping windows to various locations on the desktop with the mouse.

Great product that worked first time. Drag and drop windows, easy keyboard shortcuts, an actual opening tutorial that makes sense too. Nice.

Installed on Yosemite (10.10.5) it works but it's impossible to open the application GUI to show the Preference pane or other. It seems to work in a some strange STEALTH mode. You can stop it only killing the process.
