Lattika vs MacsyZones

MacsyZones and Lattika both bring FancyZones-style zones to the Mac: hold Shift while dragging and drop the window into a zone. MacsyZones is free and open source and offers several ways to snap. Lattika adds what happens after the snap: rules for apps, window memory, workspaces, Shortcuts actions and iCloud sync.

Lattika may suit you better if
