Does SnapState close the other workspace's apps?
No, it restores the chosen workspace. Quit apps you do not need first.
For remote workers
Separate work and personal on one Mac.
SnapState saves a Work workspace and a Personal one, with apps, windows, Spaces and browser tabs, and switches between them in one click. It also puts your desk back after sleep or plugging in a monitor. $9.99 one-time, up to three Macs.
How to set it up
Arrange your work apps and tabs, save as Work. Arrange your personal setup, save as Personal. Give each a Control-Command shortcut.
SnapState is a native macOS menu bar app that saves named workspaces. Each one keeps the windows on every Space with position and size, the apps needed to relaunch them, the display layout, full screen windows, and all open tabs in Safari, Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc and Chromium once Automation permission is granted. Restore from the menu bar, with Control-Command-1 to 6, or automatically on wake from sleep, when a monitor connects or disconnects, or when a matching display layout appears.
What are the honest limits?
SnapState does not tile or snap windows, it cannot split one app's windows across several Spaces, Firefox is not supported yet, tab groups are not restored, and it requires macOS 15.7 or later. There is no free trial.
