TesseraSnapDisplayFusion runs your monitors. TesseraSnap moves your windows.
TesseraSnap does one job: windows in place fast, on every monitor, with more ways in. Its layouts put your desk back by themselves when you dock.
- Built in Rust
- About 2 MB, one process
- Free, no time limit
- Pro $9.99 once, per PC
Where TesseraSnap is better
Placing windows across a multi-monitor desk, with nothing to set up.
Dock, and the desk comes back
Layouts apply themselves when displays change, after wake or when an app starts. Window Position Profiles load when you ask.
A flick, not a trip to the title bar
Hold Ctrl+Alt anywhere over a window and toss it to one of 16 targets, including the next display. DisplayFusion's documentation describes no throw.
22 shortcuts on every monitor
Halves, quarters and thirds on Ctrl+Alt; press again for two thirds, then a third.
- Next display on keys Ctrl+Alt+Shift+→ moves a window to the next monitor, same size and spot.
- One small program One Rust exe of about 2 MB that only places windows; no .NET.
- Pin Mode and Stash Dock a window beside the rest, or slide it off the edge. (Pro)

Stay with DisplayFusion if
- you want a taskbar or wallpaper per monitor, or to split one monitor into several
- you rely on Triggers, scripted Functions, title-bar buttons or a phone remote
- you want years of releases; TesseraSnap is version 0.1 by one person, Windows 11 only
Or run both
- Turn off edge snapping in one of them, so a drag doesn't snap twice.
- If the middle button moves windows in DisplayFusion, pick another throw button.
- Restore a setup with Profiles or Layouts, not both on the same trigger.
