What it does

Nothing to save, no layouts to name, nothing to click. Many Displays quietly remembers where every window lives (display, position, size) and puts everything back on its own when your Mac wakes, unlocks or reconnects its monitors. Grant Accessibility once and forget it's there. Built for identical monitors that macOS keeps swapping: it tells them apart, even by the port they're plugged into. No cloud, no account. $19 one-time, 14-day free trial.

Menu bar app for macOS that puts every window back on the right monitor when your Mac wakes, unlocks or gets its dock plugged back in. Automatic, no layouts to save, works with identical displays. Free 14-day trial, $19 once.

macOS moves your windows after sleep. Apple calls it "intended". Wake your Mac, unlock it, log in, plug the dock back in: every window returns to its display, position and size on its own. No layouts to save, no shortcut to press. Built for identical monitors that macOS keeps swapping. Unlock, sit down, done. Two identical monitors, real recording, no hands. 847 "Me too" votes on Apple's forum since 2011. 0 fixes from Apple. 1 app. "It feels like someone is walking over to your desk and moving everything around, just to annoy you." "For something like 14 years(!), this has driven me up a wall." "It was driving me crazy to have to redistribute every time my new M1 MacBook took a nap."…from manydisplays.com

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.
