What it does
Use the desktop to keep content from across your Mac accessible and organized in defined areas — or simply keep it clutter-free. A turf can be backed by a real folder, a Finder tag, or your hand-picked selection of files and folders. Turfs stay put through Show Desktop; you choose what Mission Control does with them.

Hi HN folks, Deep here. I am a design engineer and I have been building Resurf for the past 4 months. Resurf is a local first Mac app for quickly capturing notes, thoughts, ideas, inspiration, links, and files like PDFs and images without switching context. As a design engineer who cares a lot about craft, I built resurf because my “stuff I want to keep” was scattered across tabs, different apps, notes, screenshots, random folders, and I kept losing good references.
