So over the past few weeks I hacked together a small open-source tool called SpacePigeon that basically remembers your whole workspace and puts everything back where it was.

Things it can do:

Save your current layout (apps + windows + Spaces)

Restore it with one click or a hotkey

Keep separate presets (like “Work”, “Coding”, “Meetings” etc.)

Handle external monitors

Example: I hit my “Work” preset and it opens all the usual apps and moves them to the right desktops automatically. Saves me a few minutes every time.

If anyone here lives in Spaces like I do, you might find it useful. Here’s the repo (MIT, free): https://github.com/louivers/spacepigeon

Totally open to feedback — still very much a work in progress.
