Display Maid

Display Maid is a super handy app for OS X that helps you tackle a common issue we all face: keeping your windows in their place. You know how it is when you want to get back to a specific setup of your apps? This tool makes it easy to save those window positions and bring them back whenever you need.

Perfect for External Displays

If you're someone who frequently connects and disconnects external displays from your Mac, then Display Maid is a lifesaver. Every time you switch displays, your windows can end up scattered across different desktops. Instead of spending ages searching for your apps, this tool steps in to help.

Save Your Window Configurations

This nifty utility lets you save window setups effortlessly, so restoring them later is a breeze. When you create these setups, they’re called workspaces. Each workspace saves the position of all your app windows and can even be linked to specific network locations. So when you connect an external display, Display Maid automatically loads the right workspace for that display.

Launch Apps Automatically

But wait, there's more! Display Maid also uses your Network Locations list to launch different sets of apps automatically based on the profiles you've set up. This means less clicking around for you!

Saving Your Workspace Made Easy

Once you've arranged everything just the way you like it, saving the workspace is super simple. Just click on Display Maid’s menu bar item, and choose “Save Windows for this Space” or “Save Windows for all Spaces,” depending on what suits your needs best.

Easily Restore Your Setups

Your saved workspace will spring back into action whenever your Mac enters one of those previously set locations or if you manually select “Restore Windows” from the menu.

Pitfalls with Some Apps

I’ve used it with my Mac and found it works like a charm! But heads up: some apps might cause issues, like Microsoft Entourage or Sibelius. So depending on what you're using, Display Maid's performance can vary.

A Great Tool for Organizing Your Workspace

If you're ready to take control of where your windows live and want an app that helps manage everything neatly, give Display Maid a try!
