MultiMonitorTool is a free utility developed by Nir Sofer for Windows that helps users manage multiple monitors connected to a single computer. It provides a straightforward interface for enabling or disabling monitors, setting the primary monitor, moving windows between screens, and saving or loading monitor configurations. The tool is intended for users who want direct control over extended multi-monitor setups, allowing them to adjust screen layouts and window placement without navigating through multiple Windows display settings.

Two-pane monitor and window interface

MultiMonitorTool organizes its functionality within a two-pane interface. The upper pane displays all monitors detected on the system, while the lower pane lists the visible windows on the monitor currently selected. This structure allows users to view monitor information and associated windows in a single workspace.

Users can select one or more monitors in the upper pane to apply actions, or select individual windows in the lower pane to move them to another display. By separating monitor controls from window controls, the interface provides a clear and structured way to manage extended desktop environments, although its interface design looks dated compared to modern Windows applications.

Monitor preview window

MultiMonitorTool includes a preview window that displays a preview of the monitor selected in the upper pane. This allows users to see the contents of a specific monitor directly within the application interface.

The preview feature can be useful when non-primary monitors are turned off and you want to check the windows displayed on them. The preview window can be enabled or disabled by pressing F2 and can be resized as needed. This functionality adds visibility to multi-monitor setups without requiring users to physically switch displays.

Direct control for multi-monitor setups

MultiMonitorTool provides straightforward management of multiple monitors on a single PC, centered on practical functions such as enabling or disabling monitors, setting the primary display, moving windows between screens, and saving or loading monitor configurations. Overall, it remains a focused and functional utility for managing multi-monitor setups on Windows systems.
