Drag to an edge

Choose a layout without leaving your work.

Move a window toward the top, left, or right edge. SoLoScreenSnap shows your ordered layouts in one row or column, highlights the zone under the pointer, and places the window when you release.

Build each placement once.

Split and resize zones, set exact percentages and padding, reorder what appears in the overlay, and assign a default zone to the top, right, bottom, or left edge.

    Design zones

    Start from an included layout or divide the screen into the exact percentages your work needs.

  2. 02

    Choose edge behavior

    Assign an optional default zone for each edge when you do not highlight an overlay choice.

  3. 03

    Drag and release

    Select a zone from the overlay, or release at the edge to use the default you configured.
