Split monitor into multiple virtual monitors?

[Ursadorable]

I'm in the process of migrating my workflow from Windows back to Mac, and trying to smooth the transition.

On Windows I was using a program called DisplayFusion. It would allow you to split a physical monitor, into multiple virtual monitors. This is especially convenient when you combine a 4K vertical monitor beside your landscape monitor. I can relegate all my windows for things like email, telegram, discord, etc. onto the second monitor and run them maximized as if they were running full screen. And this leaves my main monitor for things I'm focused on.

I understand that Apple has a feature called Split View, but it only works to split an app to the left or right, and only two panes. But on a vertical monitor, you'd want top and bottom, and quite potentially one in the center as well.

Does anyone know of any software that will allow you to split a monitor into multiple monitors?

Thank you for any suggestions.

I do not

Macs don't really have anything like Windows' maximize. In my opinion, maximize only made sense on small screens. I think that if Windows were built from scratch today there wouldn't be a maximize feature. The whole point of displaying content in a window is to use screen space efficiently, not take up the whole display.

For the purpose of removing distraction and focusing on a single (or two) windows, Macs do have full screen capability. But that's not really the same as maximize.

The only way to simulate what you're asking for is to manually arrange a group of windows.

I don't know of any software like that, but I do have a license for Magnet -

It allows you to assign keystrokes to quickly move and size a focused window to particular areas of the screen. That might help you some.

I've been eyeballing Moom

While it doesn't split monitors, it does seem to have a diverse snapping system.
