AI Summary

New tool EDN aims to solve macOS window management by letting users save and restore window layouts across virtual workspaces via hotkeys.

  • Developer launched EDN on Hacker News as a solution for persistent window placement across macOS virtual workspaces
  • The tool allows users to assign applications to specific workspaces and recall window configurations via hotkeys
  • Current feature set is limited to an early build; long-term stability and integration with macOS mission control updates remain unproven

Developer-built tool EDN introduces persistent window layout management for macOS virtual spaces. Unlike native macOS behavior, which often resets window positions upon switching, EDN allows users to assign specific applications to workspaces and restore them via hotkeys. As an early-stage project, its reliability depends on how it handles macOS system updates compared to established window managers like FlashSpace or Amethyst. The utility of the tool will be determined by whether the developer can maintain compatibility through future OS iterations.
