Separate settings with profiles
Keep different shortcuts, layouts, and window-management settings for different kinds of work.
Create a profile
- Open Window Management → Profiles.
- Enter a new profile name and create the profile.
- Check the selected entry in Current profile.
- Adjust that profile’s shortcuts, layouts, and other settings.
What a profile contains
Profiles separately store shortcuts, layouts, snapshots, Window Snap, Sticky Resize, and app exclusions. Profiles are managed per operating system.
Free allows one custom profile. The default profile is always available and cannot be renamed or deleted.
Example: work and personal configurations
Keep the default profile and create a custom profile named “Work.” Select Work, then configure the shortcuts and layouts you need. Switch back to the default profile to use its settings.
If a different shortcut works after switching, check Current profile first. Switching profiles does not itself restore open windows to saved positions. Run the selected profile’s snapshot separately when you want that.
What is outside the profile
App startup and exit behavior and local operating-system settings are not part of a window-management profile. For example, Windows fullscreen placement behavior persists across profile switches; native macOS tiling is a local system setting.
A grid profile chooses the default, ultrawide, or super-ultrawide editing grid. See monitors and grid profiles.
Read-only profiles and deletion
A profile requiring Pro is preserved as read-only until access returns. Switch to an available profile if you need to change settings.
Deleting the active profile applies the default profile. Check the target name in the confirmation dialog.
