Magnet Description
Magnet can be activated by dragging windows, keyboard shortcuts, or the menu bar. It will then organize them into tiles. Multitasking is greatly enhanced by having multiple windows neatly aligned side-by-side. Fullscreen, halves and quarters. Up to six external displays can be supported. Combinations are endless. Magnet snaps windows into quarters when you drag them to the corners. You can use the side edges to arrange horizontal halves and vertical halves. Dragging to the top edge maximizes the size of a window on a screen. Bottom edge creates threes. Slide it to expand the two-thirds. The corners and bottom edge are where you will find quarters and halves.

FancyZones, a window manager tool, allows you to arrange and snap windows into efficient layouts. This will improve your workflow and allow you to restore layouts quickly. FancyZones lets you define a list of zone locations that Windows can use as targets on your desktop. When you drag a windows into a zone, or enter the keyboard shortcut associated with that zone, the window will be resized and repositioned so it fills the zone. If the "Use Non-Primary Mouse Button to toggle Zone Activation" setting has been enabled, you can also trigger the zone selection mode by simply clicking the non-primary button. If two zones are adjacent to each other, a window may be snapped into the minimum rectangle that includes both. When the mouse is near the common edge between two zones, they are both activated simultaneously. This allows you to drop a window into both zones. You can drag the window up until one zone is selected, then hold down the control key and drag the window to select more zones.
