Problem
Users with multi-monitor setups often waste time rearranging windows and launching the same set of applications each time they start work, switch tasks, or return from a break. This manual, repetitive process reduces productivity and disrupts focus, especially for builders, developers, and designers who rely on complex toolchains across several screens.
Solution
DeskJig provides a workspace launcher that lets users save, organize, and instantly restore complete application layouts across multiple monitors. Instead of manually opening and positioning each window, the tool captures a snapshot of a workspace—including which apps are open and where they are placed—and relaunches that exact arrangement with a single click. A hotkey opens a command-palette-style action bar that stays on the desktop and never steals focus, giving users access to workspaces, layouts, and window controls. The tool restores apps, browser tabs, and terminal directories, so a user can return to a code review, interview block, or any other workflow exactly as they left it. The product is designed specifically for multi-monitor builders who need speed and precision in their daily setup routines.
Target Audience
The primary users are multi-monitor power users, including software developers, designers, and content creators who require fast, repeatable arrangement of multiple applications for productive workflows.
