A window manager can shape how you arrange open applications across a desktop, screens and virtual desktops. Compare layout presets, window grouping and application rules to see which organization model fits your workflow; maximum displays and virtual desktop controls matter if your work spans multiple spaces. Check platform support, free-plan availability and paid-from pricing as well. The ranking opens with i3, komorebi and awesome, with Qtile and Amethyst also among its first entries. Use those comparison points to assess how each option handles the windows and screen setup you rely on.
