SnapState
Puts Mac windows, tabs and apps back after sleep, a restart or a monitor swap.
SnapState captures a full desk — windows, apps, browser tabs across Safari, Chrome, Edge, Brave and Arc, displays and Spaces — and restores it with one click or a shortcut (⌃⌘1 through ⌃⌘6) when the Mac wakes from sleep, a monitor reconnects, or it restarts. It's a native, signed and notarized Swift app that lives in the menu bar with no Dock icon, and the saved layouts (two small local files) never leave the Mac. One-time $9.99 for up to 3 Macs, 14-day refund, needs macOS 15.7+.
What holds up
- +Restores automatically on wake from sleep or when a specific monitor reconnects
- +One-time $9.99 for 3 Macs — no subscription
- +Saved layouts stay local — workspace names, window positions and URLs are never sent out
- +Six keyboard shortcuts (⌃⌘1–6) restore a workspace from any app, plus a Raycast extension
Mind the limits
- −Requires macOS 15.7 or later — older Macs can't run it
- −Made by a single developer, per the judge note — support and updates depend on one person
