Managing all those windows on your Mac can be frustrating. It requires precision control of your mouse or trackpad. Luckily a window manager allows you to customize how windows are handled, so you can move, resize and rearrange them quickly.
Check out these Mac Menu Bar Window Managers:

BetterSnapTool runs in the background as a menu bar app. It lets you manage your window positions and sizes by either dragging them to one of the screen’s corners or to the top, left or right. You can also set keyboard shortcuts in order to move and resize your windows.
Casilla
Casilla is a simple tool that hides and unhides all running applications. Comes in handy when you’re sharing your laptop with a friend or associate.
