DoublePane is a very simple window management utility for OS X. It lets you do four things:

1. Make a window fill the left half of the screen.
2. Make a window fill the right half of the screen.
3. Make a window fill the screen entirely.
4. Restore a window to its previous state.

All four options can be triggered with a user-configured command key combination.

This happens to be exactly what I want out of a window manager, no more, no less.

If your window-wrangling needs are similarly simple, DoublePane is available in the Mac App Store for $1.99. Or $0.00, for eight of you—I like the app so much I asked the developer for some promo codes, and here they are:

Thanks, Nick!

Despite my usual aversion to full reblogs, I thought Jack did a fine job here summing up the just-what-I-need features that led him to choose this over the other options available.

Also, One Thing Well is a never ending source of awesome. If you are not following it, you are not winning.

It allows for gestures to move the screen to the right half, the left half, fill the screen…
