  • I wish OSX had better support for window/desktop arrangement when disconnecting external monitors.
    I've been using Stay for years to solve this. Source: 11 months ago
  • Windows positions
    It’s not built in to macOS but there is a perfect free tool I use that does just want you want. It’s called “Stay” Stay by Cordless Dog. Source: 12 months ago
  • Is there a way to move specific apps to specific monitors when plugging in?
    Stay is designed exactly for that purpose. Source: about 1 year ago
  • I was a MacOS hater until...
    If you like your windows to stay in the same place, I’d recommend Stay. Source: about 1 year ago
  • looking for a solution for keeping windows placed in different spaces on dual monitors
    Previously I would recommend Stay for this. I use it and it works for me (on Monterey), but it seems to be abandonware (multiple support emails to developer have gone unanswered). It is still available. Source: about 1 year ago
