Great question! We obviously think we’re pretty great, but here’s an honest answer:
If you only need the Tiling window manager functionality in MacOS, then both programs will do just fine. They both perform their necessary functions: sizing and positioning of windows. But the ways to achieve the result are totally different.
Let’s take a closer look at how SMBAct and Moom stack up:
SMBAct, on the other hand, is geared more toward those who prefer the keyboard. Most of the actions used in practice are already assigned hotkeys. And even if you forget them, that’s okay! At any time, call the Window Actor with all the actions (in fact, they are the only hotkeys you have to remember), find the necessary action quickly without using the mouse by using fuzzy search, and hit “enter”. That’s it!
