Gridy is a straightforward software application that creates an invisible grid to the screen, causing any window you resize or move it to quickly snap to it.

The snapping is controlled by dragging the mouse cursor or using the keyboard arrows. The program comes packed with other handy options and configuratiokn settings too.

As there is no setup pack involved, you can save the program files to any part of the hard drive and just click the .exe file to launch Gridy. Otherwise, you can save it to a pen drive or other mass storage device, in order to run it on any PC effortlessly and without other installers. Plus, it doesn't modify Windows registry settings.

Once launched, Gridy creates an icon in the taskbar notifications area for quick access, and indicates this by showing a message.

Double-clicking the icon brings up a panel which contains the commands provided by this app, along with their corresponding hotkeys.

You can snap moved or resized windows to the grid, disable snapping, resize the active window and snap it to the grid, minimize all windows except for the active one, as well as adjust the transparency, toggle the Alt+Tab icon, or make the active window stay on top of other frames.

You can also modify the default grid size and edge behavior (ignore, block, shrink), choose the modifier key (Win, Ctrl, Shift, or Alt) and disable any of these four keys, as well as pick the preset keys between numbers or functional keys.

As expected, Gridy didn't put a strain on the overall performance of the machine in our tests, using low CPU and memory. It didn't trigger the operating system to freeze, crash or prompt error messages.

This software application can become a reliable assistant for snapping windows to an invisible grid. It should be particularly appealing to experienced users who want to speed up their regular activity on the PC.
