You step away for a system update, come back a few minutes later, and every window is either gone or scattered. Session restore is the feature that turns that small daily disaster into a non-event.
Why updates scatter your windows
When your Mac or PC installs an update, it typically closes your apps and restarts. When everything relaunches, the operating system makes only a rough attempt to put windows back, and it has no idea about the careful layout you had built. The result is a pile of windows you now have to sort out by hand.
What PinLayout remembers
PinLayout keeps a record of your working sessions: which apps were open, which zone each window occupied, and how that mapped across your displays. Because that record lives with your account, it survives the restart even when the apps themselves do not.
An update should cost you a coffee break, not your entire setup.
Bringing everything back in one click
After the update completes, restoring your session is a single action. PinLayout relaunches your layout and returns each window to the exact zone it came from, so you pick up precisely where you left off.
- Your layout is captured before the restart, not guessed at after it.
- Windows return to their exact zones across every monitor.
- Sessions work the same way on macOS and Windows.
- Restore on demand any time your workspace gets scrambled, not just after updates.
Reliability is quiet by nature. You only notice session restore when it saves you, and after a few OS updates you stop dreading them altogether.
