When a monitor connects, a panel drops out of the MacBook notch with every open window, full screen apps and other desktops included. Tick what moves and it glides across; unplug and it all comes home. Full screen apps move behind a calm curtain instead of macOS's flashing. Remembers a layout per screen setup, puts windows back after sleep, keeps your monitor arrangement, tiles up to four apps, and has shortcuts that never clash with macOS. 7 days free, then $2.99 once.

Partial The settings UI and layout memory are vibe-codeable, but moving windows, including full-screen apps and other Spaces, relies on macOS private window-server APIs and Accessibility permissions that need deep platform expertise.
What it would actually take: Build a native Swift/AppKit menu bar app that detects displays through NSScreen notifications and enumerates windows through Accessibility and CoreGraphics APIs. The hard part is reliably moving full-screen windows and Spaces, which often requires private APIs and careful handling of each macOS version's changes, so macOS internals experience and ongoing maintenance are needed.
