I built Ordesk because I was tired of the same daily routine — every morning I'd open my apps, drag windows across my monitors, resize everything, and try to recreate the exact setup I had yesterday. If I switched from coding to a design review, I'd spend another 5 minutes rearranging everything again. And with multiple displays, it was even worse — remembering which app goes on which screen, in what position, every single time.
I looked for a solution that could just snapshot my entire multi-display desktop — which apps are open, where they're positioned, and on which display — then restore it all with one click. Most window managers only handle basic tiling on a single screen. I wanted something that understood the full context of a workspace across every connected display.
So I built Ordesk. It lives in your menu bar and does three things really well:
Capture your current desktop setup — open apps and window positions across all your displays (supports up to 6 screens)
Save it as a named workspace (e.g., "Development", "Design Review", "Client Work") — each workspace remembers exactly which app belongs on which display
Restore everything instantly with one click or a keyboard shortcut (Ctrl + Option + O) — apps launch, move to the correct display, and tile into position automatically
Whether you're running a dual-monitor setup or a full 6-display workstation, Ordesk automatically detects your connected displays, assigns apps to the right screens, and uses smart tiling layouts (full screen, side-by-side, grid) to position windows exactly where they belong.
Ordesk is completely free during the beta. It's notarized by Apple and works on macOS 14+.
