For people with more than one interest: biomes is a free, open-source Windows workspace manager built to remove setup friction and trigger focus habits. Group your apps, tools, and notes into custom multi-monitor layouts and launch them instantly with global hotkeys. Switch seamlessly between coding, design, and study routines without losing momentum—all stored 100% locally on your PC.
👋 Hey Product Hunt! I’m AbdelGhafour, creator of biomes.
As a designer, programmer, and student, my day involves constantly juggling totally different roles. One hour I’m coding, the next I’m working on graphics, and later I’m reviewing study materials.
Every time I switched tasks, I wasted 5 minutes doing the same tedious ritual: opening 4 or 5 apps, dragging windows across monitors, and resizing them into grids. That tiny setup friction caused procrastination before I even began.
I built biomes to remove that barrier and turn starting work into a seamless habit trigger.
🌿 How it works:
A "biome" is a dedicated workspace for one interest. Set up your ideal layout once, bind it to a global hotkey (like CTRL+ALT+C for coding or CTRL+ALT+S for studying), and launch it in 1 second.
Habit & Routine Trigger: Hit your hotkey to signal your brain it's time to drop straight into focus mode.
Multi-Monitor Smart Topology: Automatically calculates window placement across multi-screen setups.
Session Restoration: Closing a biome restores your original window locations without killing active processes.
100% Free & Open Source: Built natively in C++17 with zero CPU/RAM overhead and zero telemetry.
