A focused Mac workspace utility

Stop rebuilding your Mac workspace by hand.

Restore a saved desktop and rescue off-screen windows—without moving anything blindly. Then capture a long page, keep the Mac awake, copy text that cannot be selected, write a quick note, or record a demo.

Save the desktop. Preview every move. Restore with confidence.

This is the actual Workspaces screen. Waindow stores privacy-safe app identities and display-relative geometry, shows missing windows or displays before anything moves, and can rescue title bars stranded off screen.

What does Waindow solve?

The small, repeated Mac tasks around your important work.

Waindow combines the desktop actions people otherwise scatter across several menu-bar apps: window layout, context notes, on-demand window search, long-page capture, presentation tools, local demo recording, display focus, sleep prevention, and optional local automation.

One focused toolkit

Everything earns its place.

No built-in AI, payment system, voice model, progress monitor, or decorative media bundle. Just practical native tools with a clear reason to exist.

01

Build a workspace

Save the current desktop, inspect exactly what will move, restore after display changes, rescue off-screen title bars, and undo the latest move.

  • Preview
  • Restore
  • Rescue
02

Keep context close

Catch an idea in the local Quick Memo Inbox, attach it to a window later, and find open or archived Markdown notes in one searchable library.

  • Quick Memo
  • Window memos
  • Local search
03

Capture the image—or just its words

Turn a supported long page into one tall PNG, or drag over any visible region to copy its text without saving a screenshot. Recognition stays on device.

  • Long-page PNG
  • Screen Text
  • On-device
04

Keep work moving

Prevent idle sleep for a duration or until a chosen time, with separate choices for the Mac and display.

  • Keep Awake
  • Timer
  • Closed-lid direct build
05

Control attention

Jump to an open window by app or title, darken connected displays with Blackout Mode, and optionally read total CPU or memory load from the menu-bar icon.

  • Window Finder
  • Blackout
  • CPU / RAM icon
06

Present and record

Point, spotlight, and annotate a live share, or use Waindow Studio to record a display, app, window, or region into a recoverable local project with non-destructive edits and MP4 or GIF export.

  • Presentation Tools
  • Built-in Studio
  • Local export
07

Reach the right tool faster

Click the menu-bar icon once for the complete menu, or double-click for shortcut-aware search across Waindow actions and recent workspaces.

  • Quick Panel
  • Keyboard-first
  • Local only
08

Use the light utilities on demand

Keep explicitly added files or text in a temporary shelf and take one fresh Mac health snapshot. Neither tool polls, watches, or keeps a history when closed.

  • Temporary Shelf
  • Mac Status
  • No background polling

Made for actual situations

Open it when the desktop starts getting in the way.

Read all use cases

No AI inside. Optional local control.

Let an external assistant trigger Waindow—only when you ask.

Waindow has no built-in AI model and does not monitor your prompts. If you choose, connect Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Apple Shortcuts, or another compatible tool to a limited set of typed local actions—not your prompts, documents, screen, window titles, or existing memo text.

Trust through restraint

A utility should not turn your work into its data.

Novoice transcription, usage analytics, or telemetry

An honest recommendation

Great for focused utility work. Wrong for a few things.

Choose Waindow

If you want a free, local, lightweight set of Mac desktop tools with optional external automation.

Choose another tool

If you need cloud note collaboration, a built-in AI assistant, cloud video editing, process history, or a cross-platform app.
