Snapping that goes further
Six ways to place a window, and an engine that handles the parts other apps ignore.
Drag-snap with a layout palette
Edges give halves, corners quarters. Drag to the top and a palette of layouts drops down — thirds, priority center, four columns, yours.
Snap assist
Placed one window in a layout? The remaining slots offer your other windows as one-click chips. Esc dismisses, or just keep working.
Layouts that adapt
Apps enforce minimum sizes — Xcode won't be a narrow column. RippleSnap learns each app's limits, warns before the drop, and re-balances the layout instead of overlapping.
Multi-monitor brains
Profiles remember each display setup separately. Unplug the monitor and layouts adapt; plug it back in and they restore automatically.
Rules, schedules, triggers
Slack always opens in the right third. Deep Work applies at 9:00 on weekdays. Steam opens and your Game profile follows.
Undo for your desktop
Every apply snapshots your windows first. One key rewinds; a timeline holds the last ten states. Off-screen windows get a rescue button.
Profiles: your desk, on a key
Save your arrangement as “Dev”, “Focus”, “Game”. Applying one launches the apps that are closed, restores the minimized, and places every window — even the stacking order comes back the way you saved it.
- ⌃⌥Space opens a switcher with live layout miniatures
- Each profile can hold one arrangement per display setup
- Hide or quit everything else when you switch — a true fresh start
- Scriptable:

Design your own layouts
The built-in palette is just the start. Open the designer, click cells to split them, drag the boundaries, and save any arrangement — half columns, stacks, grids. Custom layouts get snap assist and adaptive re-balancing too.
- Boundaries snap to quarters, thirds and halves
- Hide built-ins you never use, reorder the palette
- Every layout works on every monitor shape
