Mac workspace automation that never sees your screen
Workflo sets up your Mac automatically — staging the right windows before a call or a focus block, and restoring your layout when displays change. Runs on Accessibility alone: it structurally cannot read your screen. Native Swift, ~4 MB, one-time purchase, local-only.
Workflo is my answer to a small tax I paid every day: rebuilding my Mac workspace from scratch at every context switch. A call, a focus block, docking at my desk, each one meant another minute lost to reopen, drag, resize, and hide windows and my workspace.
Every tool I tried made that minute faster, but they all wait to be asked. Workflo removes the asking. It learns your layout for each display setup (Desks), stages the right windows before calendar events or at set times (Scenes), and snaps everything back when displays change. One hotkey clears the screen for a share and restores it after (Stash).
One design constraint I held onto: it runs on the Accessibility permission alone. It never asks for Screen Recording, so it structurally cannot see what's in your windows; the preview-style tools need that permission; Workflo doesn't. We do not collect, record, or transmit any data from your device. Everything stays local.
($19.99 one-time, 7-day free trial, no account, ~4 MB of native Swift. 20% OFF to celebrate the launch this week. I'm also giving away 5 free licenses today; at the end of the day, I'll send them to the people whose feedback shaped the roadmap most.)
I'll be here all day - please tell me which context switch annoys you most, and what per-app rules you'd love to see.
