Saved Workspaces for macOS
SpacePigeon lets you define full “workspaces” for macOS (which apps to launch, what desktop spaces they use, how windows are laid out, even which URLs open in your browser) — and restore them with a single click or hotkey. It’s a lightweight, open-source app built on Hammerspoon — combining automation power with native macOS feel.
SpacePigeon's Browser Mode and Deep Links feature enable users to open browsers with startup URLs or launch apps directly to specific content (Notion pages, Spotify playlists, custom URL schemes), reducing setup time for context-specific workflows.
SpacePigeon provides a native macOS UI for visual configuration of workspaces, eliminating the need to manually edit Lua code. One-click installation automatically downloads Hammerspoon if needed, making setup accessible to non-technical users.
SpacePigeon lets users define named workspace presets (e.g., 'Work', 'Chill', 'Stream') that automatically launch specific apps, position windows (maximize, split left/right), and assign them to desktop spaces across monitors. Users trigger presets via single hotkey or click, instantly orchestrating their entire environment.
SpacePigeon supports multi-monitor configuration, allowing users to define which apps open on Main or Secondary monitors and which desktop space they occupy. Windows are automatically positioned according to saved layouts, eliminating manual dragging and resizing.
SpacePigeon's 'Keep Alive Apps' setting allows users to specify applications (e.g., Spotify, Discord) that remain running across workspace switches, while other apps are automatically quit to keep the workspace clean.
