A forthcoming macOS utility that says it remembers window layouts for different monitor setups and restores them after sleep, undocking, or reconnecting displays.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-25 issue.

For: Mac users who regularly dock and undock external displays
Worth noticing: The page says it recognizes monitor setups automatically, including setups with two identical monitors, and leaves full-screen and minimized windows alone.

Field notes

The described workflow is to learn a layout for each monitor setup, wait for macOS to settle after a display change, then restore windows without opening a separate control panel. A menu-bar map is also described, with manual restore and undo. The page says full-screen and minimized windows are deliberately left untouched, and notes that some apps may ignore Accessibility-based move requests.
