SmartWindows features.

  • Auto-Restoration and Auto-Arrangement

SmartWindows remembers the display position and window size of each app. Whille working on multiple desktop apps at the same time, it is very inefficient to make excessive clicks to switch between the applications. So SmartWindows remembers the screen configuration and maintains a work zone as a preset that can be restored anytime. It provides a restoration capability to reopen the closed tabs on one all major browsers.

  • Multi-Browser & Multi-Tab Support

When using dozens of browser tabs to do extensive research, writing, and gaming all at the same time, an accidental click on “X” closes the entire browser window. Whether it be Google Chrome, Firefox, or Microsoft Edge, it is a challenge to remember the steps to restore closed tabs for each browser. Or, a sudden power outage, an unexpected PC restart or Windows updates would immediately shut down a PC.

SmartWindows eliminates the headache of restoring browsers after a shutdown by remembering the browsers with their respective URLs. It saves the active tab history and reopens tabs on one or multiple browser windows on one or multiple displays. The browser feature is to help save much of the crucial time spent every day reopening closed tabs.

  • Microsoft Office File Support

SmartWindows supports the MS Office files such as Word, Powerpoint, Project, Excel, Notepad, and Wordpad. It remembers the window size and app position on the screen. Also, SmartWindows reopens MS Office files at exactly the same position on the screen that was set last time.

  • Multiple Displays

Multiple monitors help one to work more efficiently. Users can use dual displays and up to 6 displays with SmartWindows with exactly the same auto-restoration and auto-arrangement capabilities and features in each display.

  • Profile Management

Whether it is a project manager or a student, a researcher or a gamer, it is critically important to manage multiple profiles to work in an efficient manner. If only one Window profile is used to manage home, entertainment, school, and office-related work, it becomes cumbersome to navigate to the files and apps on the computer. SmartWindows provides support to unlimited profiles. Each profile remembers the files, browsers and tabs URLs, app positioning, and window sizes across multiple displays.

Multiple profiles help manage different tasks. Each profile can be dedicated to different projects where that could be managed in a much critical way.

  • Work Zones

Work zones enable users to open apps of interest, position them accordingly on screen, and adjust their window size. Once that preset is saved, it can be restored anytime. So whether with entertainment zones, research zones, writing, or coding zones, the user can customize them all and save the screen configurations with Smart Windows.
