About

Captures entire working environments — apps, files, window positions, and browser tabs — and restores them instantly. Supports automatic triggers on display connect/disconnect, visual workspace previews, multi-monitor position adaptation, and all major browsers. Privacy-focused with local-only storage.

Who It's For

Workspace+ is for Mac users who want comprehensive working environment restoration — not just window positions, but the full context: apps, files, browser tabs, and display arrangement, all snapshotted and restored with one click. It's particularly useful for knowledge workers who switch between distinct project contexts (client work, personal projects, deep focus sessions) and want each context to come back exactly as they left it. The display auto-trigger feature makes it especially useful for laptop users who dock and undock regularly.

How It Works

Workspace+ captures a workspace snapshot by recording: which apps are open and their window positions, which browser tabs are open across Chrome, Safari, and Firefox, and the current display configuration. Restoring a snapshot reopens the apps, repositions windows (adapting positions to the current display layout if monitors have changed), and reopens browser tabs. Display auto-triggers fire restoration automatically when a specific display configuration is detected — plug in your office monitor and your "Office" workspace activates immediately. One-click undo reverts any restoration if you activate the wrong workspace.

Compared to Similar Tools

Compared to Display Maid ($5.99) and Stay (free), Workspace+ adds browser tab restoration and full workspace snapshot management beyond display-triggered position restoration. Compared to Lattix ($12–$20), Workspace+ captures existing arrangements (snapshot-based) while Lattix defines them proactively in a design editor. At $2.99/month or $14.99 lifetime, Workspace+ is priced for users who need the full browser tab + display trigger combination.

Requirements

  • macOS 13 Ventura or later
  • Accessibility permission required
  • $2.99/month or $14.99 lifetime, from workspaceplus.app
  • Browser extension required for tab restoration (Chrome, Firefox, Safari)

Getting Started

Download from workspaceplus.app and launch. Install the browser extension for tab restoration. Arrange your windows and browser tabs as desired, then save a workspace snapshot from the menu bar. Set up display auto-triggers in Preferences for automatic activation.
