I'm a -big- huge fan of Spectacle, I've been using it for a long time now and couldn't imagine life on a Mac without it. There's worth noting that there's a plethora of similar apps out there:

If you are already using Alfred, I'd suggest having a look at the new workflows available, in particular layout, which covers a lot of the features of spectacle.

For instance, typing 'layout left' in alfred will push the window the left side, topleft for the corner, etc.

Mind linking to the particular layout workflow you're talking about? Or is it now built in? I currently use spectacle, but would prefer to use Alfred.

Looks like he might be talking about this: http://projects.jga.me/layouts/

I personally find that I don't need anything more than what Spectacle gives me (splitting windows is really it). That said, I love me some Alfred workflows. Alfred is the single best software purchase I've ever made.

I did find that one and tried it out, but it doesn't have multiple monitor support. I'll stick with spectacle for the moment.

My alfred workflow library is incredibly sparse at the moment, so if you have any other good resources you'd like to share, that'd be great.

I use Alfred a lot, and I've installed a lot of workflows, but I don't use many of them.

The one I use the most, by far, is "Plain Text Paste," which I use almost every time I paste anything (I use the hotkey CMD-SHIFT-V). It's here: http://cachefly.alfredapp.com/beta/Plain%20Text%20Paste.alfr...

The only other workflows I use regularly are hotkeys to open websites I visit regularly, like our own website and our WordPress log-in control panel.

I'd too would love to hear which workflows other HN readers use a lot.

Thanks for that one.

I have a similar one to yours that creates a new plain text document from text on the clipboard.

My most often used one is Open current safari tab in chrome. I prefer using safari as I seem to get the best battery life using it. I don't have flash installed so any page that may have a flash component just gets opened in chrome using that Alfred workflow.

I occasionally need to open links in Firefox (rather than Chrome) so I have a FF <url> workflow that simply opens that link in Firefox. I need to automate more of my workflows.

Thanks for sharing that, solves a problem which bugs me on a daily basis!

Might be a good idea sdegutis, to have sample configuration that replicates the setup from Spectacle, Moom, etc., similar to what you did with Zephyros (I think?).

Ah not a bad idea, thanks! Will look into it.

Agreed! Another long time user of Spectacle.

I've been looking for this a while ago; all I could find were relatively expensive apps that didn't really work. Thanks <3

I can't find the minimum OSX version on the Spectacle site or github. Do you have any idea which one it is?

ShiftIt is extremely similar to Spectacle (I use both on different machines) and should be functional back to 10.6.

I haven't tried Spectacle, but I'm happily running Divvy and Cinch on my 10.5 PPC Mac. :)

According to the info at MacUpdate, it's OS X 10.7 or later.

Spectacle should work on 10.6+ according to it's Info.plist: <key>LSMinimumSystemVersion</key> <string>10.6</string>

Sorry I'm not sure either, I know it works with latest OSX and the one before that.

Its really nice, I wish it could do some auto-tiling, but all things considered it works quite well
