MaxTo is a small Windows program that divides your monitors into regions. When you maximize a window, it will no longer fit the entire screen, but only the region it was maximized into. Your windows are neatly organized into the grid you have defined when they are maximized. MaxTo has been described as a tiling window manager.

MaxTo

MaxTo is light-weight, and works on both 64-bit and 32-bit versions of Windows XP and Windows Vista. The .NET framework version 2.0 or higher is required, it’s pre-installed on Windows Vista.

Features

  • Easily change regions
  • Easily disabled by holding Shift
  • Move windows using shortcut keys
  • Multi-monitor support
  • Light-weight (less than 200kB to download)
  • It’s Free
  • No spyware/adware/badware

[...] NedidelÄ— programa MaxTo darbastalį (ir kelių monitorių, jei prijungti) suskaido į kelis regionus taip, kad atidaromi langai laikytųsi jų ribų. Taip padalintame ekrane lengviau iÅ¡dÄ—lioti langus, nes jie netyčia nepersiklos – visus juos galima maksimaliai iÅ¡didinti. (Smashing Apps) [...]

This is an awesome lightweight app, exactly what i was looking for with great multimonitor support. Would be helpful to have some “default” profiles built-in and the “default” split (whether vertical or horizontal) should occur at 50% of the screen, such that a vertical split would split a widescreen monitor into two portrait monitors without having to adjust the divider.

Thanks for the good program.

Any one know a tool that does this in Linux? I’m looking for something like this – but on Linux.

@Binny: Look up “tiling window manager” – this app is based off of window managers I’d previously only seen on *nix systems.

Personally, I love WMII: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wmii

Uhhhhh…. it’s not free. The trial is free, then you pay $10.
