Workflo
Mac app that opens and arranges the right apps and windows for you before a meeting, a focus block or the start of your day.
Automates the two minutes of setup before every task, so you start working instead of hunting for windows.
Workflo saves your Mac's window layouts and puts them back on cue. You arrange the apps you need for a job, say your calendar, email and notes for the morning, save it, and Workflo can rebuild that exact setup in one go.
The automation is the part that makes it stick. You can tie a layout to a calendar event or a time of day, so your meeting setup is ready when the meeting starts and your focus layout appears when your focus block begins.
It's built with privacy in mind. Workflo needs Accessibility permission to move windows, but it says it never records your screen, needs no account and doesn't use the cloud.
It's Mac only (macOS 14 or later). There's a 7-day free trial, then a one-off purchase, no subscription.
Best for
- Mac users who switch between meetings and deep work
- People with a big monitor full of windows
- Anyone who'd rather pay once than subscribe
Skip it if
- You're on Windows
- You mostly work in one app at a time

- Install Workflo and give it Accessibility permission.
- Arrange your apps the way you like them for one task, like your morning admin.
