Split Screen App For Mac

In many apps, you can take advantage of every inch of the screen—either by working with an app in full screen (the app expands to fill the entire screen) or by opening a second app to use both apps side by side in Split View.

Yesterday, we wrote a post about, and in the corresponding video tutorial, we used window snapping to highlight one of the benefits of a hidden menu bar. Afterwards, I received several tweets and emails asking how to perform window snapping, since this is not a feature that appears natively in OS X. Window snapping allows you to position windows in specific areas of the screen, usually by dragging the window to the edge of the screen, causing the window to “snap” into place. This feature was first popularized by Microsoft’s Aero Snap on Windows.

Even though Apple doesn’t natively support it, window snapping is available on the Mac via a variety of third-party apps. Split View!= window snapping To be fair,, which allows you to use full screen apps side-by-side. Unfortunately, Split view is limited to just two apps, and doesn’t compare 1:1 with true window snapping in a variety of other key ways. Split View is a nice option to have, but it simply doesn’t compete with the flexibility and customization afforded by many of the window snapping apps that we highlight below. Magnet If you’re looking for an inexpensive option that’s solely focused on window snapping, then you can’t go wrong with Magnet, a that runs in the menu bar. Magnet is simple, but it does feature the ability to assign keyboard shortcuts to any window snapping area available.

Video walkthrough BetterSnapTool that takes the idea of window snapping to the next level. It not only features keyboard shortcuts, appearance customizations, and modifier support, but it most notably allows users to create their own custom-defined snap areas. If you’re serious about window snapping and want the deepest experience available, then BetterSnapTool is the app for you. BetterSnapTool lets users define custom snap areas HyperDock, primarily for its ability to show window previews of apps running in the OS X dock. But HyperDock isn’t just about adding new features to the Dock, as it also contains window snapping features.

Although HyperDock isn’t as deep as BetterSnapTool when it comes to window snapping, when combined with its other abilities, it’s quite the compelling option. Or for with a free trial. Keep in mind that the App Store version has a due to App Store restrictions. Spectacle If you’re in need of, you might consider taking Spectacle for a test drive. The downside to using Spectacle is that it only works via the menu bar or keyboard shortcuts, and doesn’t allow you to drag windows to the edge of the screen to initiate snapping. While keyboard shortcuts are nice to have as an alternative option, I much prefer to use dragging to initiate window snapping in my workflow.

Microsoft outlook for mac sync error. For some, Outlook for MAC syncs perfectly with iCloud. I am determined to find a workaround. It is particularly stupid that my Outlook Calendar can't sync with iCal. You have been told wrong. Outlook will not sync with iCloud. Read what Microsoft have to say about it. Outlook is Microsoft's email and calendar program that integrates with Microsoft Office. It is used by many corporations as the default email client. ICal is the calendar application for Mac OS X. Outlook and iCal do not have an interface that allows them to connect and sync information directly. Close the Sync Services dialog box, and then on the confirmation message, click OK. Depending on the size of your calendar, the sync might take some time to complete. You can close Outlook and the sync will still complete. For example, it will take time if you have a calendar that spans more than a year.
