A GNOME Shell extension that adds Windows-like snap assist and expands GNOME's default two-column tiling layout with additional window management features. It is written in JavaScript and distributed under GPL-2.0.

Use cases

  • tile windows into custom layouts on GNOME
  • get Windows-style snap assist on Linux
  • drag windows to screen edges to snap them
  • manage window tiling with keyboard shortcuts
  • expand GNOME's limited 2-column tiling
  • snap windows into halves and quarters

When to choose

  • you use GNOME Shell and want richer window tiling
  • you miss Windows snap assist on Linux
  • you want an actively maintained tiling extension without switching window managers

When to avoid

  • you use KDE, Hyprland, i3, or another non-GNOME desktop
  • you need tiling on Wayland compositors outside GNOME Shell
  • you run an unsupported GNOME version
