About SnapState
SnapState is a native menu bar app for macOS that puts your Mac back how you left it. Save a workspace once and SnapState returns each app to its own display and Space, brings full-screen windows back in full screen, relaunches apps that were closed, and reopens every tab in Safari, Chrome, Edge, Brave and Arc. It can restore by itself when your Mac wakes from sleep or when an external monitor or dock reconnects, so windows that piled onto one screen go back where they belong with no clicks. It is built for people who use external displays, docks and clamshell mode and are tired of rearranging windows every morning. SnapState is $9.99 once and covers up to 3 Macs. It runs on macOS 15.7 or later, on Apple silicon and Intel. Current version 2.7.2.

Spencer for Mac
Spencer for Mac is a new window manager with a completely unique approach. It solves the biggest problem with virtual desktops — restoring app windows exactly where they were saved.
It’s especially useful when switching between different display setups (for example, work and home), disconnecting a MacBook from an external monitor, or even after a system restart. The huge advantage is that there’s no need to configure anything — just click Save and then Restore. The whole process takes only a few seconds, and that’s all the user needs to do.
It goes further: Spencer can adjust the number of Spaces depending on your monitor setup or the active workspace. You can switch between custom workspaces (e.g. “Work”, “Meetings”, “Relax”), with the right apps launching, the others hidden, and full multi-monitor support. It’s like having a perfectly organized desktop environment on demand.
