What I thought this was judging by the name (and what I want): Windows-style window 'snapping' at the edges. Pull window to the left to dock in the left 50% of the screen. To the right for the right 50% of the screen. Up to take up the whole screen. One of the few things I miss about Windows.

I've been using Screenfloat ( http://www.screenfloatapp.com ) for a long time, the one thing that I didn't like about it was the delay involved from screenshot execution to display. Sometimes this could take 4-5 sec which was a pain cause I needed it to be instantaneous. SnappyApp solves this problem so thank you, you've just become the replacement :)

We won't disappoint. :)

You can achieve this using a mod like BetterTouchTool or BetterSnapTool, with customizable options.

I'll confirm this. I am using three-finger-swipes for window snapping. Up maximises, left makes it take up 50% and is positioned to the left (vice versa for right swipe) and swipe down minimises the window.

It is great.
