Arrange your apps however you like — with PowerToys FancyZones, Windows Snap Layouts, or a plain drag — then lock the whole thing as a named layout. Snap it all back with a double-tap of Ctrl, or fan your layouts across the screen and pick one. It rides quietly in the tray.
Double-tap Ctrl and your layouts fan out as cards — each showing a little map of where its windows land across your monitors. Only the windows that are actually open are drawn, so the card previews exactly what you'll get.
One setting, three behaviors. Pick the one that matches how you work.
Step through your layouts one at a time, top to bottom. The classic.
Bounce straight back to the layout you were just on — perfect when you're going back and forth between two.
Show every layout on screen and click the one you want. The card picker above.
It sweats the parts that make switching layouts feel right.
Capture every window exactly where it sits and save it under a name like "Coding" or "Email." Build as many as you want.
Layouts remember which Chrome or Edge profile each window used, and put each one back where it belongs.
Flipping tucks away anything that isn't part of the layout, so the one you switch to is never left half-hidden.
Back after a reboot? One click opens the layout's apps that aren't running yet, then arranges them.
"Arrange windows" lays out an app's windows — or everything — as a grid, side by side, stacked, or cascaded. It's temporary and never touches your layouts, and one click undoes it.
Switch on "Start with Windows" and the tray icon and hotkeys come back on their own after a reboot. Nothing to remember to open.
If a window a layout remembered is closed, its spot is simply left empty — it won't drag a random look-alike on top.
Unplugged a monitor and a window went with it? One click brings anything stranded off-screen back where you can see it.
No window to keep open. It sits by your clock; everything's one click away in the menu.
They use a low-level keyboard listener, so they keep working even when other utilities have grabbed common shortcuts. Prefer the mouse? It's all in the tray menu too.

A layout captures windows on the desktop you're on. Spreading windows across several Windows virtual desktops isn't supported yet — it needs undocumented Windows internals. One set of layouts per desktop works great in the meantime.
A normal one-click installer — no admin, nothing else to install.
Grab the setup from the latest release. You can tick "start when I sign in."
Place your windows how you like, press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+L, and name the layout.
Double-tap Ctrl to fan out your layouts and pick one. That's the whole loop.
Free, open source, and about a megabyte. Works alongside FancyZones and Windows Snap Layouts — not against them.
