Is there a good Stage Manager alternative for Windows 11 in 2026?

I use a large monitor and often keep several apps open across the screen, but constantly looking toward the corners gets uncomfortable. Im looking for a better way to manage windows.

I like Stage Manager on iPad because the active app stays large and centered while others appear as thumbnails on the side — switching feels clean and easy. I ve tried FancyZones and virtual desktops, but they don t quite match that experience. Is there a Windows 11 tool in 2026 that keeps the current app focused while showing other open apps on the side?
