Display Maid

Display Maid is an app for keeping your displays tidy and managing your workspaces. If you use an Apple laptop with an external monitor you probably know how frustrating it is trying to keep apps and windows organized when you have to unplug your display. Everything gets jumbled up on your main screen and when you plug your display back in you have to manually move all of your windows back over to your external display. Display Maid will save and restore your window positions so you don't have to waste valuable time managing your window positions.

Automation is the Name of the Game

If you’re the kind of person who very neatly arranges their different applications and windows only to be frustrated when they get jumbled when your external monitor gets unplugged then you know why we developed Display Maid. Display Maid lets you set those window positions once across all your open Apps, save them, and then restore them all with a single command later. Gone are the days of rearranging windows manually to get your Workspace back to the way you like it. In fact, once you save your window positions you don’t even have to tell Display Maid to restore them, it will happen automatically when Display Maid launches, and any time an external monitor is added or removed.

Requirements

Mac Computer with an Intel Processor

Mac OS X version 10.6.6 or later

Workspaces:

Display Maid considers any one arrangement of monitors as a “Workspace”. Any new workspace is automatically detected and recorded. So once you have a Workspace recorded what can you do with it?

Restore window positions:

You can tell Display Maid to save the positions of your open windows across many apps and later restore those positions when things become a mess. With Display Maid you don’t have to restore windows one at a time, or even one app at a time. Display Maid restores all saved window positions across all apps with one command. It will also restore window positions automatically when it detects a workspace change.

Network locations:

You have one monitor on your office desk, a different one at home, and none when you’re on the road. These three different workspaces can also automatically set your saved network locations so you don’t have to bother with it.

Custom app launch list:

Perhaps you want one set of Apps to launch when you’re at work with an external monitor plugged in, and a second set to launch when you’re on the road and limited to your built in monitor. With Display Maid this is possible! Simply attach a list of apps to your different Workspaces and then set Display Maid to open at login. Display Maid will detect which workspace you’re currently using and launch the appropriate list of Apps.
