Alternative for the “Later” App
I've seen a post here from a while ago saying that the app "later" is basiscally abandonware now and is not being actively maintained. What's a good alternative which I can use to save desktops with specific app window layouts etc Thanks a lot in advance

Snaps of Apps or Rectangle Pro both work great across Spaces and multiple displays. https://appaddict.app/post/snapsofapps-has-new-powerful-features
+1 for rectangle
I use a Keyboard Maestro macro to run layout commands for all my Spaces sequentially.
Shoutout to u/crustpatrol for his dedicated MacosWM website. Maybe take a look at it!
Hey thanks for mentioning macosWM.com :D
That one is really good.
Thank you very much. I am very passionate about this product.
There is an unofficial fork to maintain the app
I‘m actually creating my own list of Mac apps to install onto my new machine soon. And coincidentally, I have been researching about window/tiling manager, workspace manager today. As it is not done yet, and writing it in Obsidian, I am sharing the note link here. I will share the whole list ASAP!

I used Later mostly because it is simple. For me the important thing is quick hide and restore, not another window manager with many rules. Curious what alternatives people suggest here.
Mango does exactly this. save your current window layout and restore it with one click. been using it for a while and it's pretty solid. Mosaic is another option if you want something with more rules and automation built in.
Spacepigeon has been working for me so far
Aerospace is amazing. Would recommend.
Seems like the post is duplicated. I have commented the same in other post as well: Im the developer of Lattix and I built it to solve the same problem. With the latest update, you can configure apps to open in multiple spaces/desktops. Ive also added the feature to name the spaces and also ultrafast space switching as well. I posted about 2.0 update here if you want to check it out
