Every feature, one calm desk.

PinLayout has 48 features in six groups. Here is every one of them, from drawing your first zone to sharing layouts with your team.

What's inside

Every one of PinLayout's 48 features does a single thing: keep every app where it belongs — on every screen, and back there after every restart, meeting and monitor — without you thinking about it.
