Slots

I'm Arie, and I made Slots because I was tired of rebuilding my workspace every morning: Xcode on the left, Safari with the same five tabs on the right, Terminal in the right folder, mail and chat on another Desktop.

Slots is a small menu bar app. Arrange your windows, click Capture, and that layout becomes a Slot.

Select it later and Slots:

• relaunches missing apps and puts every window back in place

• reopens the same tabs, folders and files in Safari, Chrome, Brave, Edge, Firefox, Finder, Terminal, Xcode and VS Code

• rebuilds only the Desktop that Slot belongs to, leaving your other Desktops alone

A few things I'm proud of:

• Pin one Slot per Desktop to restore a Slot at login

• Plug in your monitor and Slots offers to bring back your desk layout

• Restored the wrong Slot? Back to Previous Layout undoes it

• Global shortcut, then 1–9 to restore. Also works with Shortcuts, Siri and Focus filters

It's native Swift 6 and SwiftUI with the Liquid Glass look, not Electron. It needs macOS 26 Tahoe.

I'd love to hear which apps you'd want Slots to restore next, and what your daily window setup looks like. I'm here all day to answer questions!
