I find it to be the best modern answer to this question. You can find a pretty thorough walk through of Spaces over at Apple Insider.Īlso, today I use Moom (as mentioned by other commenters below). It is still very limited as a window management system and generally less useful than any of the third party tools mentioned in this thread so far. Mac OS has added to it's Spaces feature including the ability to have fractional spaces (two apps side by side) which is really just a first party version of the third part solution mentioned above. You still can't do true Linux-like window management or split a large screen into multiple monitors. Update: Answer still largely accurate as of 7/2020Īfter many years a friend mentioned he came across this post. They will allow you to fill sections of your screen with an app. You can get very close to what you are looking for with a tool like SizeUp or Divvy. You Can: Fill Defined Sections of your Screen with an App There is no way to get the OS to treat a single display as more than one display. There is No: True Multi-Monitor Support for a Single Display
