GOOD QUESTIONSBefore you
Before you
get started.
What OrbDesk saves, restores, and requires.
Is OrbDesk really free?
Yep. OrbDesk is currently free to use, with no account or subscription required. The public download is being prepared. Once it is available, you will find it right here.
What does a setup actually remember?
Your apps and windows, their sizes, and which screen and native macOS Desktop they belong to. Exact window positions within a Desktop, documents, and browser tabs are not saved. Each app controls which of its documents and windows reopen.
What if I unplug my monitor?
OrbDesk adapts your saved screen groups to the screens connected now. On a single screen, it keeps those groups on separate Desktops. If several screens make a match unclear, you choose the destination, and OrbDesk remembers your choice for that screen combination.
Will it open apps that I've closed?
Yes, by default. You can switch that off globally or for an individual setup. OrbDesk opens installed apps and matches their available windows. If a window is missing or cannot be matched, it tells you rather than calling the restore complete.
Does it restore automatically when I log in?
Restoring is always your call. You can have OrbDesk launch at login, then pick a setup from the app or menu bar whenever you are ready. It does not automatically restore a setup at login or when you connect a display.
What does my Mac need?
OrbDesk currently requires macOS 26.4 or later and Accessibility permission to manage windows. It does not need Screen Recording or Full Disk Access. For multiple screens, turn on “Displays have separate Spaces” in Mission Control settings. Fullscreen windows and windows assigned to All Desktops are excluded.
