Easily arrange and manage macOS apps with Parallels Toolbox one-click tool Window Manager

Whether you’re a macOS lover or a Windows fanatic, chronic multitaskers often have several applications or programs running at the same time—not to mention the dozens of tabs open in your web browser. Don’t worry, we’re right there with you. 

It’s quite easy to get lost in the real estate of your screen if you self-identify as a multitasker. Additionally, it’s almost too easy to forget about an open window if you minimize and move onto another task. I have found myself lost in the window abyss far too many times than I would like to admit.  

However, this is where the excellent Parallels Toolbox comes in handy—particularly the Window Manager tool. Easily use Window Manager to size a window on your Mac to your predefined dimensions and position. Simply drag a window to a screen’s edge and it will automatically resize to half a screen, a third of a screen or even a quarter.  

Our engineers designed Parallels® Toolbox as an all-in-one suite for creative individuals, students, small-business owners, chronic multitaskers, IT managers and everyone in between. Multitasking is not bound by a specific industry or skill set. Now more than ever before, there are incredible humans constantly accomplishing more during an average workday. Therefore, it felt natural that we create Window Manager to be added to the productive toolset that is Parallels Toolbox. Window Manager is honestly an incredible tool for multitasking between several windows and programs due to its customizable interface.  

Tips and tricks: 

  • In the tool’s preference settings, easily disable snapping for the individual application that you’re currently using in the Window Manager tool or for all applications.

Hide windows and reveal your desktop with one click with Show Desktop tool from Parallels Toolbox

Do you manage your files, screenshots or shortcuts on your Mac desktop? If so, then you probably find yourself needing to clear away your open windows and applications quickly to access your desktop. I find myself needing to do this multiple times during my workday. If you manage the real estate of your Mac like me, your screen might look like this:

Do not be like me.  

Luckily, there’s a way to easily hide windows so you can see your desktop on macOS—with one click. The Show Desktop tool in Parallels Toolbox enables you to hide or close all opened windows at once.  

When a window is hidden, it can easily be accessed by clicking on the application icon in the macOS dock.

The helpfulness of Show Desktop is not restricted to a specific industry. A wide variety of users in the digital workplace often find themselves stuck minimizing, closing, quitting and deleting files that were needed to get their task done.

Our goal with the Show Desktop tool is to save those precious files, save your time and provide peace of mind knowing you never have to click more than once to get this job done.  

Tips and tricks: 

  • In the tool’s preferences, the default “hide” can be changed to “quit” to quickly wrap up what you might be working on.  
  • To see which applications will be quit by this tool, use CMD + Tab as a shortcut.
