How to Snap Apps Side by Side in Windows 10

When you are working on multiple apps at the same time, it becomes overwhelming to manage the windows of each app. When you have opened Outlook email next to MS Office files, Photoshop next to the Adobe Reader, and Youtube next to Notepad, it becomes very annoying to switch between multiple apps every now and then. The ultimate solution for this is that you resize the apps’ windows and adjust their position on the screen according to your liking.

Once the screen is arranged, save the configuration using SmartWindows. SmartWindows will remember the window size and position on Windows 10.

Multiple Displays/Monitors

Save your display configurations using SmartWindows.

Multiple Profiles
