What's new in Ordinary Space

The big ones this time: layers, finding windows across all your desktops, and a first go at putting your windows back after you restart your Mac.

• Layers. A desktop can now hold a few different setups, and you flip between them. Keep a Personal desktop with YouTube, Reading and Music layers instead of making three more desktops.
• Putting windows back after a restart. When your Mac reopens your apps after a restart, Ordinary Space tries to put each window back on its desktop, layer and spot, and moves it back if it opened on a different desktop. This one is new and so far I've only tested it on my own Mac, so if a window ends up somewhere odd, please let me know. You can turn it off in Settings.
• Find windows on any desktop. Search from the command palette and jump to the window you want, even if it's on another desktop or in another layer.
• Bring your own launcher. Open apps with Raycast, Alfred or something similar? Add it in Settings so new windows from it go to the workarea you're working in.
• Unplugging a monitor. Your desktops should now hold on to their layers and windows when you unplug a display and plug it back in.
• And lots of small things. Switching layers starts on the one you're on, plus plenty of little fixes along the way.

• Rules. Tell Ordinary Space to leave certain windows alone, like a small picture-in-picture window. Or have a window open in the same spot each time.
• Find Window. Type an app's name to find any open window, and see where it sits on your desktop before you jump to it.
• A slimmer stack bar. The bar that shows each workarea's apps got a smaller look that tucks itself away when you're not using it. Settings shows a preview so you can pick the style you like.
• Quicker to set up. Exclude an app straight from the command palette, and see your current layout and license in the menu bar menu.

• Workareas on your own desktop. Lay out workareas on your Mac's desktop and windows tile into them on their own. Each workarea keeps a stack of apps, and a keystroke moves a window from one to another.
• More than one monitor. The same shortcuts move you and your windows between displays.
• A command palette. Do almost anything from one search box, without memorising shortcuts.
• Resize workareas. Make a workarea bigger or smaller right where it is.
• Open at login, and updates. Ordinary Space can start when you log in, and it checks for new versions by itself.
