Window layouts · Windows, macOS and Linux · one purchase

Your windows,
where you left them.

Lay your windows out once and save it. One click puts every one of them back — on the right screen, at the right size, with the apps you closed started again. Then get on with your work.

$29.99once · yours on Windows, macOS and Linux

The free version has the snapping, the grid, every shortcut and two workspaces. No time limit, no advert, no nagging.

Your desk, saved

  1. One click, the whole desk back

    Arrange your windows the way you like them and save it. From then on, one click puts every one of them back: the right size, the right place, and the right screen — even if the screens have changed since.

  2. It starts what you closed

    The apps that are not running are started again, and then placed: a browser comes back in the profile it belonged to, a folder window opens on the folder it was showing, a terminal on the directory it was in.

  3. Your layouts live on the edge of the screen

    A tab for each one, at the edge of the display, out of the way until you reach for it. Point at it and they unfold; click one and the desk is yours again. The first tab is always Desktop: it lowers everything in front of you, and raises exactly those when you press it again.

  4. Put one window exactly where you want it

    Halves, thirds and quarters from the keyboard, repeating a shortcut to cycle through the sizes. Or open the grid over the screen and drag across the boxes — they are square, so the same drag means the same shape on a wide display and on a tall one.

  5. Plug in, unplug, and nothing is lost

    Dock the laptop and the layout comes back on the bigger screen. Unplug it and the windows that lived on the display that went away are brought onto the one that is left, instead of being stranded somewhere you cannot reach.

  6. It knows which desktop a window belongs to

    Keep one layout on one virtual desktop and another on the next. Press a tab from anywhere and it takes you to the desktop that layout lives on, then puts the windows back in front of you — and the apps it has to start, it starts there.

    Moving somebody else's window between virtual desktops is something Windows and macOS allow no program to do. Nitro goes to the window rather than fetching it, and says so when one stays behind.

  7. A task on every corner of the screen

    Push the pointer into a corner and something happens: show the desktop, open the desktop switcher, start the screen saver, or go to one of your own layouts. How long to rest there is yours to set, and the corners where two displays meet stay quiet, because you cross those all day.

    Not on macOS: it has had Hot Corners for twenty years, and two of them fighting over one corner is worse than one.

Buy it once.
