Cinch gives you simple, mouse-driven window management by defining the left, right, and top edges of your screen as 'hot zones'. Drag a window until the mouse cursor enters one of these zones then drop the window to have it cinch into place. Cinching to the left or right edges of the screen will resize the window to fill exactly half the screen, allowing you to easily compare two windows side-by-side (splitscreen). Cinching to the top edge of the screen will resize the window to fill the entire screen (fullscreen). Dragging a window away from its cinched position will restore the window to its

If you prefer a keyboard-centric approach to window management, you might also take a look at our other products SizeUp or TwoUp. Use Cinch together with either SizeUp or TwoUp to cover both your mouse and keyboard needs.

Cinch was on sale for $0.99: I tried it and quit Divvy immediately: Cinch is faster and good for my needs most of the time.
$7 is a bit expensive for the basic features it offers, but it's not a big price either: for the same amount, you could have a small lunch at McDonald's. But Cinch will last much longer...

Cinch does work with multiple monitors, are you just referring to how it can be difficult to cinch on the edge between monitors? I have a tip on the Cinch website (http://www.irradiatedsoftware.com/cinch/) on how to work around this.

For example, would really like to exclude Angry Birds but I can't and it hinders gameplay. So I have to completely shut down Cinch when I play. Which sucks when others play it on my computer, because I have to sit there and shut down Cinch or show them how.
Dude... let us exclude apps ourselves too!!!

As for on my MacPro a 30" screen I find it quicker just to position windows myself. YMMV.
These are all cool but I never seem to use them. I hate auto snapping my windows and as for divvy and a little grid it is just as quick to resize the window yourself.
Maybe I am using them wrong...I find it slows me down not speed me up.
I suppose these are love or hate things.
