How does Auto Flow arrange windows?
It organizes managed windows with split or tab priority. You can rotate, flip, balance, or reorder the layout by direction as your task changes, without placing each window separately.
Focus on your work while Auto Flow arranges windows
Auto Flow tiles your open windows as you work. Keep your editor and reference material in a split layout, or give tabs priority when you want more room. Selected apps can stay floating outside the layout.
Change the layout as your task changes
Put two documents side by side or place a reference above your editor. Change the split direction, rotate or flip the layout, or balance window sizes without dragging each window into place.
Move through windows with the keyboard
Use directional shortcuts to focus nearby windows or move them within the layout. You can also send a window to another desktop or display without reaching for the mouse.
Set spacing for each display
Adjust gaps, margins, and minimum window sizes, including separate spacing for each display. App and window-title rules can keep small utilities floating beside your tiled windows.
Frequently asked questions
Auto Flow or Snap Assistant?
Auto Flow keeps windows arranged automatically. Snap Assistant lets you place them by snapping and arrange them when you choose. They are separate management modes. Rotation, flipping, and directional reordering are available in Auto Flow.
Can some apps stay floating?
Yes. Set floating rules by app or window title to keep selected tools outside the tiled layout. You can also make a single window float automatically. Window-title rules support regular expressions.
Can I set different gaps on each display?
Yes. Set gaps and margins globally or for each display, so your laptop and external monitor can use different spacing.
Does Auto Flow save a project layout for later?
Auto Flow arranges the windows you're using now. To save a project setup for later, create a named snapshot in Workspaces. It can restore window positions, sizes, and layout state when you return.
