Using various browsers and applications but not seeing the snap. Once I was able to get a Chrome window to snap to a screen corner. Otherwise, no. Using latest version of Sierra. And the Option key does not work for me.
I to would love love love any changes to be opt in Preferences — please we beg you! I miss the coloured icons in the Sidebar for quick reference. As I age I cannot read the light grey design so popular now! Dragging to an edge just makes part of the window disappear except for the top edge. Be delicate with the dragging and it will catch. It took me a few times to get used to it, there should be a key command to hold down to make it more obvious in my opinion.
It is cool but it takes so much time to align all windows in appropriate place. Thats why I created a easy AppleScript tool that works as a Alfred workflow to help you with that. Good feature. I also use Breeze, which has a lot more flexibility. I have windows that I want in certain locations, and Breeze will memorize those locations and snap each window to its location at a keystroke.
My favorite thing is double clicking when the double arrows show. It expands to full screen. Windows always had the feature where you could resize the window from any corner or edge. I refused to buy a Mac just for this reason. I used Windows for 16 years before I was willing to buy a Mac again when finally Apple decided to incorporate this feature into their OS.
And now this window snapping feature reminds me of all this. Once every blue moon, Apple comes up with a feature that is actually useful.
There could be hundreds of them, but Apple decides not to implement them but one feature per human generation. Apple tends to hold off until they can do it right. It takes into account not just position, but speed. Glad you guys realize how cool it is :. WTF — a major source of frustration and time waster. You have no idea how much more productive this feature makes me.

In addition to having them fill up half the screen like Split View already does, you can fill four corners with four different windows, have three windows with one at the top and two at the bottom, one on the left and two on the right… the possibilities are extensive.
When you first launch Magnet , be sure to grant permissions in System Preferences as it prompts you to do. You can drag a window to the corner or side you want, or use my own preferred method which is the menu bar icon. Just click a window, click the icon and choose its position.
Split View and Magnet combined, not only can you mimic Snap, you can go above and beyond what Windows can do.
