MacNo built-in shortcut
How to use it
- Click the first window and press Win + ←.
- Windows offers your other apps for the right half. Pick one.

Pro tip
Add Win + ↑ or Win + ↓ after snapping to make quarter-screen windows.
Heads up: Recent macOS versions can tile windows with the 🌐 fn + Control + arrow shortcuts. Older Macs need an app like Rectangle.
