Trackpad gestures to snap, close and arrange windows

Mac$16 once

The verdict

Recent macOS tiles windows when you drag them to the screen edges, but Swish does it with a swipe on the title bar, snapping to halves, thirds or quarters. Pinch to close, pinch out for full screen and swipe down to minimize, with 30 gestures across windows, the Dock and the menu bar. It needs a trackpad or Magic Mouse and costs $16 once, while Rectangle does keyboard snapping free.
