941 Tiles vs Magnet vs Rectangle
Three good tools, three different verbs. Magnet and Rectangle snap one window at a time with keyboard shortcuts or drag-to-edge gestures. 941 Tiles does one thing they don't: a single click arranges all of an app's windows into an even grid. Here is the honest comparison.

Which one should you pick?
Pick Rectangle if you want free, keyboard-driven, one-window-at-a-time snapping and don't mind installing outside the App Store. It is excellent at what it does.
Pick Magnet if you want drag-to-edge snapping with an App Store install.
Pick 941 Tiles if your problem is a pile of windows from the same app — browsers, terminals, editors — and you want them all arranged in one click, with Watch mode keeping them tiled as windows come and go.
They also combine well: 941 Tiles for the one-click grid, a snapper for nudging single windows. Nothing about them conflicts.
