Room to
think.
Less arranging.
More getting somewhere.
01 / A wider view
Keep the windows you need together. Move the canvas to bring another column into view, or make room for something new.
Use your mouse, trackpad, or a shortcut to move through the canvas.
Drop a window into a column. drft makes room and arranges the rest.
Bring the last column into the middle of your screen. There is still space to its right.
02 / A place for everything
Stack, Split, or Tabs. Change one column while the others stay as they are. Try a layout, move the canvas, then park the column on the Shelf.
One place for the things taking shape.
Keep something good within reach.
Inspired by Niri
Your windows sit along a canvas that scrolls sideways. Bring another column into view without squeezing everything onto one screen.
Inspired by BSP
Divide a column into smaller spaces, including two windows above one larger window. Each column keeps its own layout as you scroll.
Made for pointing and clicking
Keep up to three windows stacked, split, or in tabs. Change their layout and width using the buttons right beside them.
03 / Make yourself at home
No keyboard gymnastics required.
Drag windows and click to arrange them. Change your preferences in the app. No configuration files to edit.
A few things to knowChoose how you grab, resize, float, and move. Change a binding whenever you need.
Use your Magic Trackpad. Choose Natural Scrolling and add soft deceleration if you like.
Keep a window floating, choose which apps to tile, and bring your floating windows back to the front.
Drag a window or a whole column onto the Shelf. Click its icons to bring it back, with the layout intact.
Thought through, down to the gutter.
Choose a third, half, or two thirds of your screen. No careful dragging required.
Bring the focused column to the center. Add a subtle rim to see where you are.
