FancyZones
A collection of utilities that help customize Windows and streamline everyday tasks.
What is FancyZones?
Microsoft PowerToys is a free, open-source collection of over 30 utilities designed to customize and optimize the Windows operating system. It provides tools that enhance productivity, streamline everyday tasks, and fill gaps in default Windows functionality, such as advanced window management, quick application launching, and system customization. The project aims to empower users to tailor their Windows experience beyond standard settings.
Windows power users, system administrators, and developers who seek to enhance their workflow efficiency and customize their operating system environment beyond out-of-the-box capabilities. It is particularly valuable for multitaskers, content creators, and IT professionals managing multiple Windows machines.
Developers choose PowerToys because it offers a centralized, free, and open-source suite of tools that are officially supported by Microsoft, ensuring reliability and integration with Windows. Its unique selling point is providing advanced, modular utilities—like FancyZones for window management and PowerToys Run for quick launching—that address specific productivity pain points without requiring separate, often paid, third-party applications.
