Drag and drop your windows into tidiness with Cinch

I generally NEVER buy licenses for apps unless I truly like them, but I did this time. Best $7 I ever spent, and I had no idea it was getting featured all over the internetz too hahaha.

It might be new in Windows 7 but this feature predates Vista and Leopard.

That's the earliest implementation I could find.

I take it back -- doesn't work with Word 2004. :(

As an Apple lover and general MS disliker, it is still pretty weak that Win7 isn't even mentioned. It's the one Aero feature I've been envying and I installed Cinch the other day. It's cool but I haven't had a chance for truly practical use yet. I think that will be mostly for writing papers and viewing sources at the same time. It IS cool and should be part of the OS (nice work, MS), but in OSX most of my windows (like Finder) default to the right size and place anyway. I've never needed something like Cinch to
drag and drop between windows.

i honestly fail to see where the value of this snap or cinch comes in. we have expose on the mac, i have a hot corner. if i want to drag things from one finder window to the other i just either move both windows or drag the item to a corner, activate expose, and drag it over the other window. that works fine.
srry. just not impressed at all.

Guys -- wherever it came from, I don't know, but I have to say that this is the best $13 I have spent in ages. I wish this was part of the OS. Really nice utility.

I bought cinch and I love it.. works great.

Let's be fair and give credit where credit is due. TwoUp has been out since Feb. 2009. SizeUp has been out since March 2009. To suggest Microsoft stole the idea from Irradiated Software is preposterous. Aero snap came out at least as early August 2008. It is clear that Cinch is essentially a port of Aero Snap, not that that is a bad thing.

I've been using SizeUp for months http://www.irradiatedsoftware.com/sizeup/ and absolutely love it. It's only $6 more and is well worth it for window management. For those of you complaining about $7 or even $13, is it really that hard to fathom paying such a small price for software that will improve your workflow on a day to day basis? Grinches.

lol... not a single mention of where this was blatantly stolen from. This is by far the best part of this entire write up:

"Basically, Cinch does what all great Mac software does: it works in the background and lets you do what you want to do, skipping completely all the usual nonsense you usually have to do in between."

um...so you're admitting that a feature in Windows 7 (not in OS X) works like "all great Mac software" (which is an oxymoron). Just mention this was stolen from Windows 7, and move on. You fanboys are hilarious.
