Breeze gives you simple window management on Mac OS X through a concept called "window states".
When you save a window state, Breeze remembers the relative size and position of the focused window.
At any point, you can apply that state (size and position) like a template to any other focused window.
Breeze comes with some handy default window states for Fullscreen and Splitscreen Left or Right.

Regarding this, apart from simply transferring the menu bar icon functionality to a dock icon (not really fan of this), if Breeze for its main menu could totally operate by the way of shortcuts or at least a simple pop up bezel window on demand, it would be perfect.
Soon further more, the need for a status pane should arise as you locally manipulate more and more specific application windows.
But this is another story...

- Also, this software can be improved by adding more options such 1/2 top, 1/2 bottom or even user-defined options.

And its developer is very reactive, helpful (he helped me to fix a shortcut/keyboard issue...) and open to suggestions.
The price is really fair (the lowest for this type of application).

I have just discovered that because Breeze is resolution independent, changing the height of the Dock is also taken into account and is not an issue at all.This is simply brilliant!

Breeze is located in the menu bar and allows you to resize any active window using keyboard shortcuts. But unlike other utilities Breeze does not limit us presets or grid, and allows you to remember the window position and assign shortcut. You specify hotkey to any of the windows in the independence of the active program.
Breeze works with any screen resolution and has positioned the window regardless of the display user. The program has a simple interface that allows you to easily add a new status window, assign a shortcut, and view the saved position of the icons in the menu bar. Function "Rescue Window" resets the state of any window and brings it to the center of the screen.
Thanks to developers for an interesting product!
Best Regards Vitaly!

I see no configuration options, such as setting a "divider position" and perhaps margins to the screen and other windows (when using the built in splitscreen, and fullscreen actions), and for that matter, i can't seem to edit saved states at all (or update a state).
I do not agree with doobiexx that 3-4 bucks is a fair price for this application. If it was a one trick pony, and i do mean that literally, like a "deep sleep this mac" button in the menu bar, then sure, 5 bucks might be allright, but his application applies a little bit of magic to almost every application on your computer. It has to deal with old (or non standard) scriptingbridge APIs (bounds doesn't work on all apps), it has to deal with windows that don't follow normal procedures, but react only when you probe the processes through "system events". It can be a real mess trying to get this kind of functionality served to you on a silver platter through custom applescript snippets.
Like the "script menubar", breeze can also hide application specific states, and show only whats relevant for the frontmost application. Thats a nice touch.
I'm not prepared to buy this app just yet though. With a bit more polish, and some more functionality built in, then sure, i'll buy it.

Nothing against the app but I don't see too many updates in the works (at least not publicly) and breeze was just bought from its' original developers to a company who makes no other apps so I have to think... does "autumn apps" have the skill/know-how/desire to make breeze that much better... We have to wait and see if "autumn apps'" can put out updates of magnitude. The current features were created by and bought to "breeze" from the original dev.
Bit harsh but this is a $3-$4 dollar worthy app max imo.
