When using a Mac, many people are probably like me and use different apps in different scenarios. For example, when I’m working, I’ll open Chrome, work chat groups, and AI tools; after getting off work to relax, if I just want to unwind, I’ll only keep Chrome and the LINE chat app open; when doing AI development, besides still having Chrome open, I’ll also open ChatGPT, Claude, and Antigratify. Having to open and close windows like this every time I switch is honestly quite tedious. If you feel the same way, a very useful window layout management tool, “Cue for Mac,” is currently running a limited-time offer to get the Pro version for free.
This tool helps you remember the tools opened and window positions for different work scenarios. Later, you can switch quickly with just a keyboard shortcut, no need to manually open and close everything one by one. The Pro version has no limit on the number of saved scenarios—you can save as many as you want—and it also supports multi-monitor mode.
Cue for Mac introduction and how to get a Pro serial number free for a limited time
Cue is a window layout management tool built specifically for macOS. Its main function is to remember the position and size of every app window, as well as which display each one is on, and save the entire workspace as a “Scene.” Afterward, whether windows have been moved, apps have been closed, or the computer has even been restarted, you can quickly restore all windows to their original positions just by switching to a previously saved Scene.
This is especially useful for anyone using a Mac Studio, Mac mini, or MacBook with multiple external displays. For example, during your daily work you might put your browser on the main display, messaging apps on a vertical display, and Figma or video editing software on another display; every time you reconnect displays or start up your computer, you may need to rearrange everything again. Cue can save these configurations directly, so next time you just press a keyboard shortcut and restore the entire desktop setup at once.
The controls are also quite simple. Cue supports ⌥⌘1 to ⌥⌘9 to quickly switch Scenes, while ⌥⌘S lets you directly save the current window layout. On a MacBook, you can also move the mouse to the notch to open the Cue panel; on a Mac mini, Mac Studio, or a Mac without a notch, you can open it from the menu bar.
Cue doesn’t just remember window coordinates; it also identifies the model and serial number of external displays. Even if macOS changes the display numbering after a reboot or after unplugging and replugging a monitor, Cue will still try to put the window back on the original display. If the app used when saving a Scene isn’t open, Cue can also launch the app automatically and then place the window in the specified position.
