About Many Displays
Many Displays is a macOS menu bar app that automatically returns windows to their correct monitors after sleep or unlock.
Use it if you work with multiple identical monitors on a Mac and get frustrated when macOS stacks all your windows onto one display after sleep or login. It's for anyone who wants their workspace restored without manual repositioning each time.
- Automatically restores windows to their original monitor, position and size
- Works with identical monitors by distinguishing them via system UUID and port
- Restores display settings like resolution, refresh rate, rotation and mirroring
- Runs from menu bar with no setup or layouts to save
Good to know: Free 14-day trial with no account or card required. One-time $19 purchase. Runs on macOS 13 and newer, both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. 3 MB download, notarized by Apple, source code on GitHub.
Key features
- Auto-restore on multiple triggers: Windows return to their correct place when you wake, unlock, log in, plug in the dock, or open the lid.
- Handles identical monitors: Tells apart multiple monitors of the same model that macOS normally confuses by tracking their system UUID and physical port.
- Fast restoration without freezing: Reads the window server list directly instead of asking each app, restoring hundreds of windows in about 20 milliseconds.
