Instant AI layouts
Reads your monitors and open apps and proposes a whole layout, instead of waiting for you to drag.

Everything the others do. Plus what they can’t.
Rectangle snaps. Magnet tiles. Moom saves layouts. PinLayout does all of that, then reads your monitors and apps to build the right layout for you, on Mac and Windows.
Beyond snapping
Other tools wait for you to arrange every window. PinLayout reads your monitors and apps, builds a layout for you, and puts it back after every restart, dock and update — your desk stays set up without you touching it.

Why people switch
More than a snapping tool.
Truly native
Swift on macOS and a native build on Windows. No browser wrapper.
Private by default
Windows are arranged on your device. PinLayout never reads your files, keystrokes or screen contents.
Multi-monitor ready
Every display keeps its own layout, and windows go home when a monitor comes back.
Save and restore
Bring back a full workspace in one click, even after a restart or update.
See the difference on your own desk.
