Window Mover for Stream Deck: Organize your apps instantly

Last updated:

You’re about to stream, record, or join a meeting, and your screen’s a mess. Chat covers your tools, browser windows are buried, and you’re scrambling to find everything before it starts.

It happens to the best of us, but what if your desktop could organize itself with one press? That’s where Window Mover comes in.

One press, perfect layout

Window Mover turns Stream Deck into your personal layout manager. Instead of dragging windows around every time you start a stream or meeting, you can save your setup and bring it back instantly.

Put chat in the corner, OBS on the left, browser in the middle. Set it once and it will always open the same way. Every size and position is remembered down to the pixel so your screen stays exactly how you like it.

Actions included

Window Mover comes with three actions that can resize how you manage your apps:

Custom

Define an exact size and position for any app window. You can target the current foreground window, a specific app, or a window by title. Once configured, that window will move to your defined coordinates automatically.

Layout

Snap windows into preset positions without entering coordinates. Choose your display, then select a layout like left half, right half, top-right, bottom-left, or full screen.

Maximize

Bring a window to the front and make it fill your selected display.

Getting started

  1. Open Stream Deck app and select the Plugins tab in the right-hand panel, or go directly to Elgato Marketplace in your browser.
  2. Search for Window Mover by Elgato.
  3. Tap Get to install the plugin.

Set up a Custom window position

Use this when you want a window pinned to exact coordinates every time.

  1. Drag the Custom action onto a key.
  2. Under Selection, choose what the action targets: Foreground, App, or Window Title.
  3. Choose the Display the window should move to.
  4. Set the X, Y, Width, and Height values, or resize and position the window where you want it first, then tap Use Current Location to fill in those fields automatically.
  5. Tap the key any time to snap that window back to the saved position and size.

Set up a Layout preset

Use this when you want quick, coordinate-free snapping.

  1. Drag the Layout action onto a key.
  2. Under Selection, choose what the action targets: Foreground, App, or Window Title.
  3. Choose the Display the layout should apply to.
  4. Select a preset position from the grid, such as left half, right half, top-right, bottom-left, or full screen.
  5. Tap the key to snap the target window into that preset.

Set up Maximize

Use this when you just want a window brought forward and filled to a display.

  1. Drag the Maximize action onto a key.
  2. Under Selection, choose what the action targets: Foreground, App, or Window Title.
  3. Choose the Display the window should fill.
  4. Tap the key to bring that window to the front and maximize it on the selected display.

Combine actions into one layout

Since each action targets one window, use a Multi Action to rebuild your entire desk setup with a single tap. Add each window's Custom, Layout, or Maximize action to the Multi Action in the order you want them applied, and one tap moves chat, OBS, your browser, and anything else into place at once.

Made for how you work

Window Mover is not just about snapping apps around. It fits into your workflow and helps you get back to what matters, creating.

Use actions to move or resize windows into preset spots like left half, right half, or full screen. You can also combine several commands in a Multi Action to set your entire workspace at once, with stream tools, chat, music, and browser all where they belong.

Fits any setup

Window Mover adapts to your workspace, whether you're using a laptop or multiple monitors.

It runs on both Windows and macOS, automatically detecting your screens so your layout always stays consistent.

Setup is quick. Add it to Stream Deck, assign your windows, and you’re ready to work your way.
