If you have tired of Magnet, SplitScreen is your application

split screen

The arrival of the Split View function to OS X El Capitan, allowed us, without having to install any application, to open two applications in full screen, adjusting to the size of the desktop automatically. But for many users, among whom I find myself, it is not entirely useful to me since makes the top menu bar disappear just like the dock, so it forces me to use the mouse and wait until the top menu bar appears, if I want to see the time or the dock if I want to open another application.

Magnet, an application available in the Mac App Store, allows us to do practically the same thing, but in a more comfortable way and occupy the entire size of the screen, so that you can interact with both the menu bar and the dock, But this application tends to give problems on many occasions and the commands to adjust the applications do not work as they should. Tired of this application, I decided to try SplitScreen, an application that so far It is the best we can find if we want to use two applications together respecting the top and bottom of the desktop.

SplitScreen allows us to configure key shortcuts to be able to quickly adjust the applications to the right or left of the screen. Using keyboard shortcuts, we can reduce the application to the left, to the right, place it in full screen, show / hide hidden files or perform a search through the internet. In addition, it also allows us to configure the application so that it automatically starts every time we start our Mac. SplitScreen is priced at 6,99 euros on the Mac App StoreIt may be an expensive price for some, but if we regularly use this function, SplitScreen justifies each of the euros that we pay for it.
