Shuffler

Shuffler is a handy tool when you're juggling multiple windows on your desktop. It can get super annoying when they don't fit together, right? Sure, you can minimize the ones you don't need at the moment, but that doesn't really solve the problem. That's where Shuffler comes in! This app remembers where your windows belong and helps you put them back with just a click.

Easy to Use

The best part? Shuffler quietly hangs out in your system tray while you work. You won't even notice it's there until you need it! All the options are tucked away in a menu, and there's no complicated main window to deal with. When you first launch it, it even asks if you want it to start up with Windows so it's ready for action as soon as you're at your desktop.

Startup Settings

If you miss that initial prompt and want Shuffler to run on startup later, no worries! Just toss a shortcut into your Startup folder. And hey, if you're feeling fancy, you can assign a hotkey to that shortcut for easy access!

Add Your Windows

Now, to actually use Shuffler for arranging your windows, you'll have to add them to a list first. Just a heads up: this can take some time if you've got lots of windows open because you'll need to pick each one individually from the tray menu. There's no way to add multiple windows at once or select from a list of active ones.

Restoring Your Layout

When it comes time to restore those windows, it's only possible if they've moved or aren't visible anymore. When you choose one from the tray icon, it jumps right back to its saved spot. But here's a little downside: there's no way to keep a permanent list or create different profiles based on what tasks you're working on.

Final Thoughts

So all in all, while Shuffler is pretty useful for managing window positions, it could definitely use some improvements. You'll have to set up your list every time and can't move or resize windows directly from the app itself.
