Moom 4 Window Manager Released

From manytricks.com:

It may have been a long time coming—over 12 years since Moom 3’s release—but we think Moom 4 was well worth the wait. During those years, we’ve been listening to all your input, as well as learning more about what we can do with windows on macOS, and Moom 4 reflects that feedback and learning. It’s both the same app you’ve known and used since its initial release in 2011, and an entirely new app that offers a number of new window management tools.

I’ve used Moom on-and-off for years. Of course this was an instant upgrade for me. Lots of polishing and some new features. My favorite being Drop zones:

Any saved layout can be added to a screen edge in Moom’s snap feature. Once you’ve done that, drag a window onto that region, and the associated saved layout’s window locations become drop zone targets:

Move the window around, and each window location highlights; drop the window on the highlighted zone, and that’s where it goes. Watch the video.

I’m still looking for a long term window management solution. Sadly Sequoia is not it. But what’s great about the Mac is having 3rd party alternatives like Moom.
