Top Recommended Replacements
Rectangle
FREETop Professional Free Alternative
Why we like it
100% free; mirrors Magnet's functionality but adds 'Window Gaps' and 'Todo Mode'; incredibly lightweight; the 2025 favorite for developers and designers who want zero-cost efficiency.
Keep in mind
Lacks the polished 'clutter-free' menu bar aesthetics of Magnet; no native iCloud sync for shortcuts across multiple Macs.
Loop
FREEBest Modern Workflow
Why we like it
The 2025 rising star; features a radial menu that appears around your cursor; allows for extremely fast window placement without needing to reach for edges or remember complex hotkeys.
Keep in mind
Radial UI can be distracting for users who prefer invisible, shortcut-only management.
AeroSpace
FREEBest for Developers
Why we like it
An i3-like tiling manager for macOS; keyboard-first; automatically tiles windows as you open them; perfect for your Next.js and WordPress dev environment to keep code and browser side-by-side.
Keep in mind
Steep learning curve; not designed for mouse-heavy users or those who prefer floating windows.
BentoBox
Best for Ultra-Wide Monitors
Why we like it
Focuses on 'Zones' rather than just halves/quarters; allows you to draw custom layouts and snap windows into complex grids—ideal for 49-inch monitors.
Keep in mind
Paid only; overkill for users on standard 13-16 inch MacBook displays.
Better Window Manager
FREEBest Legacy Free Tool
Why we like it
Recently updated in late 2025; allows users to save and restore entire 'window states' (layouts) for specific projects like 'Innverse' or 'Argumax'.
Keep in mind
Dated interface compared to Magnet or Rectangle; development can be inconsistent.
