How do I make a window move to the left half of my screen and another window move to the right half?

Question

On Windows 8, I type win + left and the current window becomes full-height and half the screen width and moves to the left. If I type win + right, the current window does the same except moves to the right.

This is so incredibly helpful. Is there a mechanism to do the same for Macs?

You can try Cinch and SizeUp apps to do that.

This looks perfect. Is there a free alternative? – at01 Mar 30 '13 at 18:40
I do not know any free apps, but the app DoublePane cost $4.99. It's same as Cinch or BetterSnapTool at just $1.99. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bettersnaptool/id417375580?mt=12 http://5amcode.com/ – Pratik Apr 01 '13 at 10:02
I ended up with Spectacle, seems to work perfect and is free. – at01 Apr 01 '13 at 14:41
