Your windows, where they belong

PaneForge turns your monitors into panes: named, predictable regions where your apps automatically land every time. No more dragging Slack to the right and your editor to the left every single morning.

Free to start. Pro is $14.99, once.

Build a layout once. Then stop thinking about it.

PaneForge is built for the way you actually work: multi-monitor desks, curved ultrawides, vertical portrait panels, mixed DPI. It sees them all the way Windows does.

Scenes

Build a layout once, then apply the whole thing with a single click. Your panes, your names, your arrangement.

Pin apps to panes

Tell PaneForge your browser lives in the left pane and Slack in the right. Next time you apply that scene, everything goes exactly where it belongs.

Any desk, any monitor

Multi-monitor setups, curved ultrawides, vertical portrait panels, mixed DPI. PaneForge sees them all the way Windows does.

Pro

Global hotkeys

Bind a scene to a hotkey and slam everything into place from anywhere in Windows, without touching the mouse.

Scenes can apply themselves the moment you dock or undock. Sit down at your desk and your desktop is already arranged.

Common questions

Is Pro a subscription?

No. PaneForge Pro is $14.99 once. It stays yours on every PC signed in with your Microsoft account, and every future Pro feature is included.

What do I get for free?

The free tier includes 2 scenes, 3 panes per scene, 2 monitors per scene, app pinning, and manual scene apply. Plenty to see if it fits how you work.

Do I need a cloud account?

No. Everything is stored locally in %LocalAppData%\PaneForge\ on your PC. Nothing is uploaded anywhere.

Does it handle unusual monitors?

Yes. Ultrawides, portrait panels, and mixed DPI setups are all first-class. If Windows can see the display, PaneForge can carve it into panes.
