Need a window-spreader utility

I want a utlity that works with Finder like this:

-- I have, say, four windows open for Safari (or any app).

-- I want to see all four windows about one-quarter the desktop size, and placed apart so they don't overlap at all.


Example: I press some key or key combo, say F3 or control-up arrow, and the windows spread apart so I can see all of each window and nothing overlaps.


Any ideas where I can get some utility that does this?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.2)

Are you looking for a way to resize the windows so you can then work with the 4 windows on the screen? Maybe something like BetterSnapTool (unless you have a trackpad, and then I would suggest BetterTouchTool that includes the BetterSnapTool features).


Or just find all the open windows so you can select the one you need and then have it come to the front and all other windows resume their previous size? Alberto Ravasio's fn+F10 (or sometimes just F10, unless you have a keyboard that shows a bunch of little squares (mine is F3) that will do the same Expose trick of showing all windows).
