Great window management tools for OS X

It took me some time to find these great apps, so I figured a mention might help others:

  • Shift It enables easy moving and resizing of windows using the keyboard (expands  the concept of Aero Snap)

  • Afloat will let you keep windows on top, adjust window transparency and much more.

In case you’re wondering, they’re both free and open source.

Update 2014-02-03: The link to ShifIt has been updated and now points to the new repository on Github.

    Wow, that's great. The Maximize actually makes your window take up the whole screen, unlike the stupid green button/+. Thanks!
    Another tiny utility I really like is Caffeine – you click on it and it stops your computer from going to sleep. It's only free though.

    The only thing better than free beer, is free speech!
