MaxTo is a lightweight window manager developed by Digital Creations AS that lets users split a Windows desktop into custom regions so every application launches exactly where it is needed; by dragging a window while holding a modifier key, the program snaps the rectangle to the predefined layout, eliminating manual resizing and allowing coders, analysts, traders, and multitaskers to keep reference documents, IDEs, spreadsheets, chat clients, and browsers visible side-by-side without overlap. The utility sits in the system tray, consumes minimal memory, and works across single or multiple monitors, supporting portrait, landscape, and mixed orientations; layouts can be named, exported, and switched on the fly, so a laptop that undocks into a triple-display setup can load a different geometry in seconds. MaxTo 2.2.1, the fourth major release, introduces per-monitor DPI awareness, configurable keyboard shortcuts, and a JSON-based recipe system that can automatically position windows according to process name, title, or regular expression, making it suitable for enterprise imaging, financial dealing rooms, and home offices alike. Because the engine hooks only into standard Windows APIs, it remains compatible with Windows 10 and 11 without requiring administrative rights, and all snapping logic executes locally, ensuring that sensitive data never leaves the machine. The software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
