Unplug a monitor and macOS piles every window onto the laptop. Resettle remembers where each window goes on each display setup and puts them back when you dock, plug in or wake. It learns on its own, nothing to save. Every restore can be undone.

Could you build this?
Partial Controlling window positioning on macOS requires deep integration with private or specialized Accessibility and CoreGraphics APIs, as well as handling edge cases around multi-monitor display reconfiguration events.
What it would actually take: A real implementation must be written in Swift/Objective-C using macOS Accessibility APIs (AXUIElement) and Quartz Display Services (CGDisplayRegisterReconfigurationCallback). The difficult aspects involve handling multi-space/virtual desktop state, identifying windows across monitor hot-plugs reliably, bypassing sandbox limitations, and gracefully managing apps that resist programmatic window repositioning.
