Flexiglass 1 5 3 – Window Managers
- 'I've been using it for almost two weeks now... Before flexiglass i used to use 'cinch', and 'sizeup'. Trust me, go ahead and buy flexiglass, you'll save money and will be using a far better app than any other management window app. You can resize, maximize, move, close with a mouse, use trackpad multi-touch gestures, keyboard shortcuts... The interface kind reminds me of NuKit (witch is awesome). Windows users will love this one!'

Mac App Store - 'I was using HyperDock for the sole purpose of being able to move and resize my windows from anywhere in the window, until i found Flexiglass! Thank you! This app is incredible, and I don't know how I ever lived without it!'.
by iPhone User One
Mac App Store - 'Thanks a lot! The best spend 6 euro in App Store :)
This should be implemented in the system from the beginning. Very useful from the first launch.'
by Mateusz Stańczak - 'This is a pretty good little utility. I'm really enjoying being able to suck windows on to the edges of my screen, and the moving and resizing shortcuts are nice. This has a lot of promise for a 1.0 release!'
by Jenna Fox
Mac App Store - 'I gave to this app 5 stars. It worth it. I developed my self an app for Windows,'Desktop Organizer' and I was missing so badly this features when I was working on Mac'.
by Ovidiu Carstea
Mac App Store - 'This app is amazing, it does exactly what it says it does and you don't even have to be in the app to use it, just have it open. The snapping windows to the top left or right of the screen is one of the best features, it is probably the only feature that Windows had that I wanted on my Mac. Flexiglass is fast and simple, everyone should have this app'.
by Oscar Newman
Mac App Store - 'I've used Zooom/2 for years and Cinch for about a year. The former I used for adjusting window size, similar to the way Flexiglass does it. And I used Cinch for dragging windows to the top of the screen to maximize. After purchasing Flexiglass, I was able to uninstall both of those apps and say goodbye. Zooom/2 never seems to be updated, so it's comforting knowing that I'm using software that is actively developed and supported. It's also odd having an application/menubar icon that only does one thing (Cinch)'.
by Matt Bovett
Mac App Store - 'This app gives you all the control you want over those unruly, wayward windows. The only negative coment I can think to make regarding this app is that Apple should have included it as part of the operating system'.
by Sam Towers
Mac App Store - 'So far I have only had it for a few minutes, but I can tell I'm going to love it! I recommend this app for anyone who has ever noticed how windows can sometimes be hard to deal with in Mac. I think it goes very well with all of the other features like this on Mac such as Spaces, Entourage, and the dock to make Mac just that much better than Windows'.
by Adomian
Mac App Store - 'Works far smoother than Cinch and does much more than Window Magnet (I've been shopping around). On my big screen iMac, it's done a wonderful job with my trackpad and has made life so much easier'.
by Erik Benau
Mac App Store - 'Wow what a great app, as a loyal Apple fanboy i was secrelty jelous win7 for these features and always wished i could have them on my mac! This is great for me as I use a lot of spreadsheets so being able to snap them into place side by side is a big help. A++'.
by Steven Bennett
Mac App Store - 'Being an avid unix user since 1995, I have REALLY missed having this functionality on the Mac. Takes 5 seconds to configure, and you are off and running. Absolute must have application!'
by Collin LeGault
Mac App Store - 'I have been looking for the best Mac window manager for a couple of years and this is it. There are plenty of alternatives to Flexiglass but this works beautifully and seamlessly across the screen. Cinch used to be my favorite but always felt clunky and slow.'
by Chris Kinsman
Mac App Store - 'I absolutely love how this application works. The window resizing based on position (top, left, right) is a godsend'.
by Andrew Rossi
Mac App Store - 'Changes how you use mac awesomefully, glad i bought it'.
by btehcheat
Mac App Store - 'WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME ABOUT THIS SOONER!? IT IS PERFECT -- I was about to ditch Lion and go to Windows 7 but now -- no way! This app has made my mac PERFECT! THANK YOU! :-D'
by sentbykangaroo
Mac App Store - 'I am so glad that this app has finally come out! Works great'.
by Matt Perez
Mac App Store - 'It is just incredible. I bet you save hours upon hours. It is incredibly useful from a single 11' MacBook Air, all the way up to a dual 30' Apple Cinema Mac Pro setup.'
by Kathryn Thompson
Mac App Store - 'First off, let me say that this is a very nice application and is very well done. The layout option is very convenient and was the sole reason I downloaded the app. This is a must have for anyone who wants better window management options'.
by ScottN
Mac App Store - 'Very easy to use, can be hidden from sight 24/7 and it will be running, ready to go any time. The maximization via right-click of the zoom button (green plus), double click of title bar and dragging to the top of the screen is absolutely amazing. An Extremely fluid app that makes working with application windows a breeze. I am a long time Mac user who is constantly working with many a crowded desktop'.
by JJ BOB
Mac App Store - 'This App is amazing! The one thing that Windows 7 had over apple's OS, you can get with this app. I mainly got it for the split screen function that allows you to easily set to applications to use half the screen. And thank you for fixing the problem with Chrome'.
by Papa Stevesie
Mac App Store - 'I frequently work with two documents side by side and being able to split the screen with simple keystrokes is great. And if someone can explain why Apple believes that only the lower right corner may be used to resize a window, I would love to here it'.
by gdblr
Mac App Store - 'Very Cool and Lovely App. If you are a Windows 7 User, then this App is a must have'.
by Adam Watts
Mac App Store - 'Great app! The little things that does are very useful'.
by KSaraf
Mac App Store - 'Sweet! The features this adds to the Mac OS really help me work more efficiently. Win7 has similar functions built into it, and I always wondered why Apple didn't beat them to the punch on this one. If only Autodesk would start making software for Mac again, I would never go back to MS! Just buy this App, it pays for itself'.
by birdtree21
Mac App Store - 'Finally, an application that implements functionality that has been lacking in OS X. The ability to 'maximize' any application now is fantastic, if you're coming from a WIndows environment you will love this. Being able to 'snap' windows side-by-side allows me to view multiple documents at once and be more productive'.
by Jesse Earley
Mac App Store - 'Makes switching between Windows and Mac a little easier. I was especially glad to get the doubleclick-titlebar-to-maximize functionality on Mac, I was constantly trying to do that when on a Mac.'
by hvuoltee
Mac App Store - 'When I use the big TrackPad it becomes Thumb-Move / Pinky-Size: holding the Option for both actions, click and hold with the thumb and use my index to move, but really, almost feels like 'tossing' that window where ever I want and when it's time to resize, pinky on the lower right side and index-finger making that window resize so fast.'
by fillip
Mac App Store - 'As a dual os user (osx at home & win7 at work) I always was missing from the mac the cool auto-maximize/tile functions that are available to win7. This handy little util gives you all that and even more... A must have util!'
by elchetz
Mac App Store - 'This is perfect app and really does the job'.
by ihakka
Mac App Store - 'The features that it provides are some of my favorite Linux & Win7 features that are missing from OSX'.
by As pring
Mac App Store - 'I do not often take the time to review an app as I run a software company, however, this app is one that everyone should have. It combines the ease of use that Apple is most known for with the practicality of a well designed application. Anyone looking to view and utilize more than one window at a time can use this app'.
by Charitybull
Mac App Store - 'This took me less than 1 minute to learn to use and set up. Very powerful and easy to remember methods for managing your windows. Highly recommended'.
by ergohack
Mac App Store - 'Was looking at the cheaper alternatives for Windows' aerosnap, however, most of them don't work for some essential programs which a lot of people use, like microsoft office programs, google chrome and even itunes. I was apprehensive about paying the money to get this one, but as far as I can tell, it works well and is efficient with all the programs I've used thus far. Definately worth the money to have the ease of organisation especially as a uni student'.
by Pc to Mac
Mac App Store - 'I've tried and taken a look at other apps designed to move windows and manage layouts, but Flexiglass has been the only one with a real comfortable and fast workflow. The combination of multitouch gestures to move and resize windows, along with easy to remember keyboard shortcuts makes moving windows very fast. I don't use 'Real Zoom' or 'Real Close' myself, but I could see other people liking those features. Features is where this app shines. Flexiglass has all the features you could want, without being too bloated or complicated'.
by Malcolm Bastien
Mac App Store - 'Swiss Army Knife' of Window Management Tools - The most feature packed (& the price reflects this). I love the Quick Layout shortcuts; I find myself using them _constantly_. Flexiglass shines as it enables you to use _both_ the keyboard and mouse/trackpad/graphics tablet - just select which is most convenient at the time'.
by Will, Stormfront Tech
Mac App Store - 'Works as it should and emulates windows 7 perfectly. I probably use it every 50 seconds, and even if you aren't a previous windows owner, you should still get this app'.
by Nicknamemikemike101
Mac App Store - 'I've been a long time Linux/Fluxbox/Compiz user. I switched to Mac in 2007 and i was always missing the cool Mouse/Keyboard shortcuts that allowed me to resize and move windows freely. And then I found Flexiglass which is exactly what i was looking for... it's a cool app and does what it says it does'.
by Haytham Elkhoja
Mac App Store - 'I came from windows 7 and i loved docking my windows because I often times read one file and type onto another simultaneously. This app brings that functionality over to lion (i have no idea why it isn't native), it was the one that I thought windows 7 had over lion. But now I can't complain about my mac anymore = )'.

Flexiglass 1 5 3 – Window Manager Duties
Among the countless number of applications that just lay out windows on your desktop Flexiglass actually offers a convenient way to move, resize, maximize, and close windows on a Mac with a mouse, trackpad and keyboard.

* Quick Layout Shortcuts
User-defined shortcuts allow you to move windows to halves or quarters of the screen and back to original size. You can place a window in the center of the screen or move it from one monitor to another.
