SMBAct adds a window switcher and cross-platform support. MaxTo is a window management software designed to optimize and improve productivity on Windows operating systems. It allows users to easily organize and arrange windows on their desktops, enhancing multitasking and workflow efficiency. MaxTo offers several key features: - Window Partitioning: MaxTo divides the desktop into customizable regions, commonly referred to as “zones” or “tiles.” Users can define the size and position of these zones, allowing windows to snap automatically to specific areas of the screen. - Automatic Window Placement: By utilizing predefined rules and settings, MaxTo can automatically position windows when they are launched or moved. This feature ensures consistent and organized window layouts, saving time and effort. - Window Snapping and Resizing: MaxTo enables users to easily snap windows to specific zones by dragging them or using keyboard shortcuts. It also provides options for resizing windows to fit specific zones or proportions. - Virtual Desktops: MaxTo supports virtual desktops, allowing users to create multiple desktop spaces and switch between them effortlessly. This feature helps to declutter the workspace and streamline the organization of different tasks and applications. - Multi-Monitor Support: MaxTo offers comprehensive support for multi-monitor setups. Users can define custom layouts and rules for each monitor individually, enabling seamless management of windows across multiple screens. - Profiles and Presets: MaxTo allows users to create profiles and presets, which are sets of window layouts, rules, and settings. This feature allows for easy switching between different setups, ideal for different workflows or when using the software across different devices. - Configuration and Customization: MaxTo provides a user-friendly interface to configure and customize its various features. Users can adjust settings, define rules, create shortcuts, and personalize the behavior of the software according to their preferences. MaxTo aims to streamline window management, enabling users to focus on their tasks without being distracted by cluttered desktops or manual window resizing and positioning. SMBAct serves as an excellent alternative to MaxTo, providing not just window management capabilities but also acting as a window switcher. It is cross-platform (Windows, macOS and Linux) and offers a user-friendly interface.
