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
