ShiftWindow is a free window resizing and shifting software for Windows which you can use to resize and reposition application windows using keyboard hotkeys.

Each application will have it’s own rule and they are gonna be detected by either window titles, or by selecting the executable of the application. With the help of rules you can reposition and resize windows by setting the location and new window size in pixels.

Rules can be managed in the left sidebar. New and Delete buttons down below will either add or remove window resizing and relocation rules from the list. The entire right side of the interface is for editing rules. Everything can be setup there, window name or executable name which is gonna be affected by this rule, values in pixels for the location and new window size, hotkey triggers and so on.

Most of us have applications which we are using each day, and we’ve grown accustomed to having them arranged in a specific way on the monitor or monitors if you have several of them. Manual resizing and repositioning is time consuming, especially if you’re using a lot of applications. ShiftWindow also works with multiple monitors, you can for example set up an application so that using hotkey triggers it opens up in fullscreen on a completely different monitor.
