SizeUp allows you to quickly position a window to fill exactly half the screen (splitscreen), a quarter of the screen (quadrant), full screen, or centered via the menu bar or configurable system-wide shortcuts (hotkeys). Similar to "tiled windows" functionality available on other operating systems
Additional features include moving windows from one monitor to another, from one Space to another, and restoring a window to its original size and position (SnapBack).
What's New
Version 1.3.2: Release notes were unavailable when this listing was updated.
I'm in a desing/development shop and with my 27" imac there's lots of screen space so I en up with many many windows open. SizeUp makes it a little more sane to look at!
As a student, this software is amazing. Snapping a powerpoint presentation to one side of the screen and notes (or facebook :) to the other is priceless. Very stable and easy to use, seems like it should've been included with OSX in the first place.
Very nice app but i have one regret (or is it there somewhere and i couldn't find it?): the absence of automatic, global "tile" function for each app -- you have to resize each window individually to finally get a tiled screen.
The numerous options / default choices already present in this app would allow this function to be implemented quite easily by the developer, i think.
(If anyone reading this knows of piece of freeware or shareware that offers an automatic tiling of the open windows of one application (whether Finder or other apps), I would love to know. None of the apps i tested allow this.)
I use it constantly and is one of my most favorite utilities. If you do any kind of work where you need several windows open and viewable at the same time, especially with multiple monitor setups, this is something you need. I quickly learned the keyboard shortcuts I use 90% of the time. For the other seldom used functions it provides, they are only a click away in the menu bar. The detail of preferences, such as setting desired boarder space is genius.
It is one of those programs you needed but did never knew it. That is why I am writing this review. Everyone using several windows/monitors should to try it. On a Mac, it makes the Windows OS's stupid implementation of "windows within windows" just plain juvenile.
Great little app to improve your workflow, especially if you prefer to use the keyboard. The nice thing about the demo is that it's fully functional (it only adds a nag screen). But now I've paid for it. :)
The only thing it's missing that I wish it had is the ability to *separately* center a window vs. center and resize. Currently you can only do one or the other. So I end up using a separate utility to center a window only.
Nice trinket but I've just found Keyboard Maestro includes most of this functionality in Interface Control --> Manipulate a Window.
Too many little utilities slow and clutter one's Mac. Not to mention a pain in the neck to maintain and keep up to date. I prefer to use just one or two master programs.

It also works perfectly with a dual monitor setup which is essential for me.
