...These kinds of tools are popular for improving productivity, especially on multi-monitor setups, by letting users quickly align and resize windows to halves, quarters, or other grid arrangements without manual dragging. While official project documentation isn’t available from search, the repository name and conventions imply a small, focused tool that hooks into the native windowing system (on Windows, macOS, or Linux) to detect active windows and reposition them based on user commands. It helps streamline workflows for developers, designers, and multitaskers who juggle many open windows and want consistent, repeatable layouts.

shod is a mouse-based X11 window manager that can tile and tab windows inside floating containers. To tile windows, drag-and-drop the titlebar of one window into the border of the other with the right mouse button. The entire grid of tiles is called a "container", and can float around on the screen. shod works via mouse, possibly with a given modifier (Alt by default), and by responding to client messages sent by the shodc utility (shod's remote controller). With the exception of the alt-tab combination for cycling windows, shod does no keybinding by itself and relies on other applications (such as sxhkd) for that.

The program helps your organize application windows on your screen in a grid. You can set amount of columns and rows in it and then drag windows' thumbnails to place them in the cells. When the user finishes moving a thumbnail it automatically attaches to cells' borders.
