Why not just Stage Manager?
Stage Manager reduces chaos. SceneSwitch goes further—remembering precise geometry, spanning multi‑monitor intent profiles, and switching automatically with Focus modes.
| Capability | Stage Manager | SceneSwitch |
|---|---|---|
| Window/Layout Memory | Groups help, but placements can shift and lack deterministic geometry | Profiles store exact size & position for each window—restores pixel-perfectly |
| Multi‑Monitor Profiles | Limited awareness; complex setups feel fragile | Intent-based profiles spanning all displays with reliable restoration |
| Focus Mode Automation | Manual invoke only | Bind any profile to Apple Focus → auto switch when your context changes |
Above: profiles show what Stage Manager can’t—intent-aware, multi‑display precision.
