MaxTo saves screen space by maximizing windows apps to regions

The problem is that you generally need to resize each window manually to make it fit, because Windows applications usually have maximize and minimize buttons, not "put in the upper right hand corner of the screen and take up 25% of my screen real estate" buttons.
MaxTo is a tiny (169KB) utility that makes things a whole lot easier by letting you split up your display into different regions. When you first run the application, you can create as many regions as you like on any display connected to your computer by splitting your screen horizontally or vertically. You can also drag the lines splitting your screen .
Then, as long as the program is running, you can click the maximize button in almost any application and it will maximize to the region where it's hanging out, rather than taking up all the space on your monitor. For example, if you split your screen into a left and right section, if you drag a window to the right and then click maximize, it will only take up the right half of your screen.

The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
