About BetterStage

BetterStage is a Mac window and workspace manager that groups the apps, windows, and layouts for each project or mode of work, then switches that entire context across displays.

Each Stage and display can use Enhanced Native for free placement or TabStack for tiling, resizable panes, and tabs. Snap Wheel provides radial window and Stage controls. Workspace Continuity restores local checkpoints after restart, wake, and display changes; Pro adds Saved Workspaces.

Optional AI Staging proposes an arrangement Recipe you can inspect, refine, apply, and undo. It sends disclosed workspace metadata to your selected provider only when invoked, without screenshots.

Requires macOS 14 or later on Apple Silicon or Intel. Free includes three Stages. Lifetime Pro starts at $19.99 for one Mac, with a seven-day initial trial without a card. Current release: 2.0.3.

Who BetterStage is for

Mac developers, solo founders, and multi-monitor researchers switching between project, research, support, and writing contexts.

    What workspace metadata does Optional AI Staging send to the provider, and can I use it without sharing window titles?

    1. Terry Zhang

      You can view the full final prompt in AI staging. It doesn't send without window titles yet cause that's one thing it relies on to determine what stage a window should be sent to. But I'll see what I can do in coming updates. For now if privacy is your concern, either bring your own ai key, or use a local hosted small model to do it would be the workaround

    How does Workspace Continuity restore a project when you unplug, rearrange, or add displays?

    1. Terry Zhang

      It remembers the layout and windows of the disconnected display, and when the display returns, a dialog would pop up asking if you wanna restore, click restore, then those window that got moved to the remaining screen will go back to exactly where they were before on the returning monitor
