Your Mac finally remembers how you work.
Save your exact window layout for every context — work, side project, creative, downtime — and switch between them instantly. Even survives a restart.
Join the beta & help shape the switch experience. No spam—indie build in public.
“I built SceneSwitch because I was spending 10 minutes rearranging windows every time I switched from client work to my side project — and starting from scratch after every macOS update. One developer, one real problem, one focused solution.”
Stop managing your desktop. Start using it.
Switch to work mode instantly
Clear away distraction and surface only what you need—without manually closing apps.
Restore your perfect layout
Every window returns to its saved size & position across monitors. Feel at home immediately.

Built for makers running dense multi-display setups—precision instead of clutter.
How It Works
Create Profiles
Capture your current window arrangement and assign it a purpose: Work, Build, Study, Downtime.
Bind to Focus
Optionally link profiles to Apple Focus modes for automatic activation when your system context changes.
Switch Instantly
Trigger via menu bar or automation. Windows hide/reveal with positions and sizes exactly restored.
Popular Use Cases
Deep Work Sprint
Hide chat & distraction windows; surface IDE, docs, and task manager exactly positioned.
Design Review
Reveal Figma, reference Safari tabs, and notes app on second monitor instantly.
Learning Mode
Activate profile with course video, spaced repetition app, and code sandbox pre-arranged.
Side Project Build
Bring up terminal, repo, issue tracker, and preview browser—stash everything else.
Evening Wind Down
Swap to entertainment profile: music, streaming, personal journaling layout.
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.
