Full history: CHANGELOG.md
Is it safe? Do I need to disable my antivirus?
Yes, it's safe, and no, you never need to disable your antivirus. The app is fully open source — every line is auditable here. Binaries are built automatically by GitHub Actions from this exact code (see the green build badge) with published SHA-256 hashes. If your antivirus flags the portable exe, it's a heuristic false positive — verify the hash and whitelist it.
Is it really free?
100%. MIT license, no ads, no account, no upsell. If you like it, sponsor the project.
Which Windows versions are supported?
Windows 10 build 18363+ and Windows 11, x64. Windows Server 2019+ works but is untested.
Does it conflict with PowerToys FancyZones?
Yes — run one or the other, not both. Both register the same drag-snap hooks. SnapGrid detects FancyZones at startup and warns you.
