Putback

Automatically restores window layouts on macOS when display setups change, offering instant position recovery, desk scene customization with app placement and wallpaper settings, hotkey triggers, undo feature, strong privacy protections, and no subscription needed.

The problem it solves: unplug and macOS piles every window onto one screen. Putback keeps a separate memory per display setup and puts everything back in 0.4 seconds.

What is Putback?

Putback is a macOS application that automatically restores your window arrangements whenever your display changes. It learns your window layouts for different display setups and restores them in less than half a second.

It also allows you to design desk scenes with specific app placements and wallpapers, which can be applied with a hotkey.

The application ensures transparency with an undo feature and clear notifications, and does not require a subscription or account. It does not collect analytics data and your window data remains on your Mac. It is compatible with macOS 14+, Apple silicon and Intel.
