What you get

You get your window layout back without rearranging everything.

You spend less time putting windows back after reconnecting a monitor or waking your Mac. WinPin remembers each window’s size, position, and display, with separate layouts for different display setups. Your desk arrangement and laptop-only layout can stay distinct.

You can divide your screen into halves, thirds, or smaller sections to keep several windows visible without manually sizing each one. When windows are scattered across displays, you can review them together, move them between screens, or gather one app’s windows onto a single display.

For focused work, you can save a task’s windows as a workspace and recall them with one key while putting the others away. You can bring those other windows back when needed, or simply dim everything around your active window. When you need a particular window, typing part of its name lets you jump to it.

  • Stop rebuilding your layout

    You get windows back in their remembered positions after waking your Mac or reconnecting a monitor.

  • Keep windows neatly arranged

    You can fit windows into halves, thirds, and smaller divisions instead of resizing each one by hand.

  • Keep one task visible

    You can recall a saved workspace while putting other windows away, or dim everything except your active window.

  • Find the window you need

    You can jump to a window by typing part of its name, even when you only remember a fragment.

Best for

  • You regularly dock and undock your Mac
  • You juggle windows across multiple displays
  • You want separate window arrangements for different tasks

Skip it if

You probably don't need it if you keep only a few windows open and rarely rearrange them or change display setups.
