The arrival of OS X El Capitan has brought us a few new features to improve productivity. One of the important ones in high demand by users was the possibility of place two apps in full screen automatically. For this, Apple launched the Split View function, which in passing has also been implemented in the iPad Air 2 with the same name. Before the arrival of this new function, the Magnet application allowed me to perform the same function but in a much more comfortable, agile and customizable way since it does not limit me when selecting how I want to place the applications.
After testing the native Split View function in OS X El Capitan I have been forced to reinstall Magnet. Split View in El Capitan does not allow any option to change how we want the applications to be displayed, in addition to hiding the top menu bar automatically, so that if we want to access it to check the time or access an application, we have to move the mouse to the top. Also from time to time he goes crazy and starts distributing applications to different desktops when we get out of this view.
On the other hand, with Magnet, if we place several applications on the screen of our Mac, we can access the menu bar at all times without having to use the mouse. But in addition we also allows you to open the applications horizontally instead of distributing them from side to side of the screen as Split View does. Within the configuration options we can establish various key combinations to distribute the applications according to our needs without having to resort to the mouse or trackpad. If we take a look at the ratings of this app, we can see thatIt only has five-star ratings, many of them made after the launch of OS X El Capitan with its happy Split View function.
The application is no longer available in the App Store
