How BetterStage restores your desk after quit

Published by BetterStage · Instructions for our macOS app; detailed feature reference is linked below.

Steps

  1. 1

    Work normally — BetterStage keeps a local Workspace Continuity checkpoint (Free) on quit, wake, and display changes.

  2. 2

    Quit and relaunch BetterStage. The latest desk restores automatically.

  3. 3

    Optional: Settings → Workspaces → turn off Show Workspace Continuity toasts. Recovery still runs.

  4. 4

    This is not loading a named Saved Workspace (Pro).

Try it yourself

BetterStage is free for up to three stages. TabStack, Saved Workspaces, AI Staging, layout presets, and pinned displays are Pro. Eligible Macs can start a 7-day Pro trial; previous trials do not reset. Managed AI credits are separate.
