Desktop behavior
Configure window snapping, desktop-icon alignment, hidden files, and the endOS interface scale.
Open Settings → Desktop to control how windows and desktop icons snap, whether hidden files appear, and how large the endOS interface is.
App overview
When you have several windows open, the app overview zooms out to show them all at once so you can jump straight to the one you want.
| Gesture | Where |
|---|---|
| Double-click the Endstack logo in the dock | Web and desktop |
| Alt + ↑ | Web and desktop |
| Double-tap the Endstack logo | Mobile |
| Swipe up from the bottom edge | Mobile, inside an open app |
A single click or tap on the logo does something different: on the desktop it opens or closes Channels, and on mobile with an app open it returns you to the desktop. The overview also needs at least one open window, so it does nothing on an empty desktop.
These gestures are always available and are not configured in Settings. Everything below is.
Edge snap resize
Turn on Edge snap resize to resize windows automatically when you drag them to screen edges. You can then enable the layouts you want:
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Corner quadrants | Snaps windows into the top-left, top-right, bottom-left, or bottom-right quarter. |
| Top edge fullscreen | Snaps a window to fullscreen when you drag it to the top edge. |
| Left/right halves | Uses half-screen layouts at the left and right edges. |
| Edge snap threshold | Sets how close a window must be to an edge before snapping triggers, from 8–120px. |
Edge snap threshold appears only when Edge snap resize and at least one snap sub-mode are on.
Smart Snap
Smart Snap adds alignment guides and snaps items to nearby positions while you move or resize them.
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Smart Snap (Windows) | Shows alignment guides and snaps to nearby windows while you move or resize a window. |
| Smart Snap (Desktop Icons) | Shows alignment guides and snaps desktop icons while you drag them. |
Files and scale
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Show hidden files | Shows dotfiles on the desktop and in Files. |
| Zoom scale | Scales the entire desktop interface from 50–150% in 10% steps. |
