Purchased pro. Its features are good however I have had numerous instances of bugs. The developer was quite dismissive when I contacted them regarding solutions.

Fortunately I found this great window management tool, I've been struggling to split apps into 1/3 or 1/2 of the screen, but in the end I did it and it was useful for assignment work I had.

Great app! Hoping developer will add a similar feature from Divvy, divvying up the screen into squares.

I already use BetterSnapTool but this is also a perfect utility which I easily could have settled with had I known of it at the time. As with BetterSnapTool, I can recommend Rectangle unreservedly. One feature which to me “makes or brakes” a utility like this is the “Gaps between windows” setting - including screen edges (vital). Thanks to the developer!
