What it is
AquaSnap is a Windows utility for arranging desktop windows by docking, tiling, and snapping them into place. Drag a window to a screen edge or corner to resize it to half or a quarter of the screen. When two windows are side by side, resizing one while holding Ctrl also adjusts the other. Windows can snap together, and double-clicking an edge maximizes a window in that direction. Holding Ctrl while moving a window moves its adjacent group along with it. Mouse and keyboard shortcuts are customizable; mouse shortcuts provide 15 clickable areas and support up to five mouse buttons. AquaSnap also works with TidyTabs so tabbed groups can be snapped, docked, and tiled. The product lists 64-bit compatibility from Windows 7 through Windows 11, plus a portable edition that can run from a USB stick without installation. The free license is for personal use only. The Standard License costs $29, paid once for one computer, and the Site License costs $899, paid once for unlimited computers at one physical location.
