Our verdict on MaxTo
MaxTo is a Windows utility for arranging application windows into custom screen zones. It suits people who want repeatable layouts across one or more monitors, including users who prefer keyboard shortcuts or drag gestures to resize and position windows. Grids can be tailored with adjustable rows and columns, and configurations can be independent for each monitor or shared across multiple monitors. Presets and remembered window positions help make a chosen arrangement reusable rather than rebuilding it each time.
Its strongest fit is the combination of layout control and automation. Users can save unlimited presets, configure application-based placement for new windows, and recall one or all remembered windows. Keyboard shortcuts are configurable, while snapping is also available through a drag gesture. MaxTo supports unlimited monitors, with per-monitor or shared configurations, so its layout model can accommodate a multi-monitor setup without a stated display cap. This focus is useful for people who regularly move between known window arrangements; it is less compelling for someone seeking a broader desktop utility or support for platforms beyond Windows.
MaxTo is paid software with a 14-day trial and three listed licenses. Home Yearly costs €29 per year and covers personal use on up to 5 personal PCs. Home Lifetime costs €99 as a one-time payment, with the same personal-use and PC terms plus lifetime updates. Business Yearly costs €39 per year for business and work-managed PCs, with one license per PC and volume licensing. All listed plans include unlimited presets and monitors. Choose a home license for personal Windows computers, or the business plan for work-managed machines; users who need a free plan or another platform should look elsewhere.
