I'm planning to launch my MVP soon, before the beta I'd love your brutally honest feedback!
For the past few months, I've been building a Windows desktop application called WindowPilot.
The idea came from a frustration I had every single day. Every morning I opened the same applications as a developer (Visual Studio, Chrome, Teams, Spotify, Postman, etc.). And then spent the next minute dragging them back to the monitors where they belong.
It sounds like a tiny problem. But after doing it hundred of times, I finally decided to automate it.
Today this app can:
Automatically move applications to specific monitors
Create reusable window rules
Detect monitor changes
Visualize your monitor layout
Start with Windows
Run silently in the system tray
Import / export rules
I'm now getting close to releasing the first public beta.
Before I do, I'd really appreciate some honest feedback from people who actually use multiple monitors.
Here are a few questions:
If you are using two or more monitors, does this solve a real problem for you? Or is it something you'd never think about?
What would make this become part of your daily workflow instead of "just another utility/tool"?
If you had this installed, what feature would make you think, "yeah, I'd actually pay for this"?
Do you currently use tools similar to this? If yes, what do you like or dislike about them?
I'm trying to build something that feels lightweight, modern and focused rather than becoming another bloated Windows utility.
Every comment will directly influence the roadmap before the beta goes public. Thanks for taking the time to read this!
P.S
I'm also thinking about a future PRO version. My goal isn't to lock the core experience behind a paywall. Instead, I'd like to keep the essential automation free and build premium features around advanced workspace automation.
If you've ever paid for a Windows productivity tool, I'd love to know what convinced you it was worth paying for.
