@guard_if Looks great and very handy! One question: does Warp support opening a default preset at the startup of the Mac?

@t55 Hiya! Right now, you'll have to manually launch a preset by going to the menu bar or inputing a keyboard shortcut. However, having the option to launch a preset at startup is a great idea

@guard_if @t55 because warp supports global hotkey, you can create an Automator action as an app to load as a login item and it will do what you want.
It is obviously a workaround, but it means that warp can be somewhat automated (it’d be great if it could have Shortcuts actions as well, or Automator/applecript dictionary items for old school folks as well).
Does it work with virtual desktops? I mean if I have my email app open in Desktop 1 and my writing app in Desktop 2, is it going to open them in the same place or dump them all on one of the two?
Hey everyone 👋
Thanks for swinging by! I can't tell you how excited I am to finally tell the world about Warp. I created Warp because one day I asked myself the question "Why can't my computer know exactly how I want my Desktop set up every time I sit at my desk?"
With Warp, you can
1️⃣ Arrange windows to your liking
2️⃣ Click "Create preset"
3️⃣ Activate preset to launch & snap windows into their saved locations
Warp is able to do this because it...
🖥️ Supports multiple monitors
🧠 Knows the exact size, position, and the monitor a window belongs to
✨ Launch multiple windows of a single application
🪞 Render pixel accurate representation of a preset you've created
This initial release of Warp is a small step towards a grander vision; a Desktop that isn't just a static canvas but an entity that knows exactly how you like work. I'm insanely excited to hear y'alls feedback and please give me a shout if you have any questions or feedback.
Thanks 😎

@guard_if super cool! Will this integration with Focus Modes? That seems like a must have!
I have been using Warp for weeks now and I’m loving both the app and the constant improvements I see coming. A feature request: I’d love to integrate Warp presets with some Keyboard Maestro macros, so AppleScript support (or Shortcuts) would be very welcome!
@cdf1982 Ooo great idea! Adding to the list of todos https://warp.canny.io/feature-re...
This is interesting, never though a solution would appear for it. Congratulations on the launch!
Like @t55 says, default preset at the start would be great as well :)
@t55 @jules_pratt thanks Jules and yes, thinking about looking into adding support for this in upcoming versions :)
This is amazing, there are times when I spend a minute or two rearranging the desktop to how I remember it from my general work setting
Ok, so here I am spending 10 minutes of my time. Why? Because I think Warp has fixed my 4-monitor, window setup needs by 80%. Through the years, I have tried Mosaic, BTT, KM, and Moom, and I am sticking with Warp. It works. I have 4 presets for different needs, arranging 8-10 windows in different ways. I use the menu bar or a LoupeDeck two of buttons. What is to be improved? It could be faster. Sometimes it takes a few seconds too long to get things in place. Looking forward to see if it can also do things with Spaces or how it holds up when Stage manager comes... but for now it is what I use.
@manuel_alonso_martinez Hey Manuel, thanks for the kind words! Expect an update soon that will drastically improve window restoration speeds 😎
Been using warp for a number of weeks now... perfect for what I need, and the dev is very happy to answer questions, and take in feedback... VERY happy with this app
@neil_whitten Hey Neil! Thanks for your kind words and glad to hear Warp is working out for you :)
@craigcpaterson Hope you enjoy it! Would love to hear what you think about it :)
This would be everything with native split screen window tiling... one day i hope
