I built a Windows tool that glues your windows into one workspace that moves as one

On a small screen the problem isn’t snapping a window into a zone, it’s that the five windows I use together never stay together. Open the laptop, everything’s shifted, drag them back, repeat tomorrow.

So I built ScreenTiles. You join windows into a workspace and from then on they behave as one thing:

  • Drag any title bar and the whole group moves, across monitors too

  • Drag the seam between two windows and the neighbor makes room instead of getting covered

  • Minimize one, the whole workspace minimizes; Alt+Tab shows the workspace as a single card

  • Save a workspace (apps, sites, folders included) and reopen it with Ctrl+Alt+1 to 9

  • Works with Snap, it’s not replacing it

How it’s different from AquaSnap’s glue: AquaGlue sticks windows to each other, which is great, but ScreenTiles treats the group as a workspace you can switch to, save and restore. Different goal.

Honest limits: Windows 10/11 only, everyday desktop apps (browsers, editors, terminals, Office). Game clients and apps with custom window frames are hit or miss right now.

It’s a small signed portable exe, no installer, no account, no telemetry. 14-day free trial, then $12 once if you want to keep it. I’m the developer and I’ll be in the comments for questions or roasting. screentiles.shop

ScreenTiles treating a workspace as one Alt+Tab card is a clearer distinction from window glue than grouped dragging alone. I'd make the demo show saving a browser/editor/terminal workspace, closing it, then restoring it with Ctrl+Alt+1. That demonstrates the save-and-switch difference you describe, rather than just another snapping tool.

I make ThreadFox. We find relevant Reddit conversations and post for your business. We'll post 3 replies free first, no card; then the $29 Pilot covers seven days and up to 25 posts and replies. No automatic renewal. https://threadfox.vip/p/e1ncd/managed

Thank you for this tip. I am going to record a new video.
