Get back the first
10 minutes of every workday

Every morning you open the same apps, move the same windows, and rebuild the same context — before you've done a single real task. Define your workspace once. Launch everything with one click.

Stop rebuilding.
Start working.

If you open the same apps every morning and arrange the same windows every morning — Scenerun ends that tax for good.

For developersDesignersWritersPMs

Smart Profiles

Save your workspace once — every app, every window position — and recall it with one click. One profile per context: work, design, writing, admin.

App Detection

Find any installed app in seconds without digging through Finder. Scenerun scans your Mac automatically — just type to find, click to add.

One-Click Launch

Hit one key and walk away. Every app opens in sequence, no babysitting required. If you already launched today, it won't fire twice.

Window Layouts

Windows land where you need them — no dragging, no resizing. Choose from 9 presets and every app arranges itself on launch.

Global Shortcuts

Switch your full context — all apps, all windows — from any app with a single shortcut. No clicking, no app switching.

macOS Native

Lives quietly in your menu bar. Launches at login, follows your macOS theme, and stays out of your way until you need it.

Data Safety

Your profiles are never lost — not to a crash, not to a bad update, not to anything. Automatic backups run silently in the background.

Accessible

Works the way you work — keyboard-first, VoiceOver-ready, motion preferences respected.

Screenshots

Dark Mode

Your whole workspace — apps, shortcuts, launch sequence — at a glance.

How It Works

Three steps. Zero friction.

STEP 01

Create a Profile

Name it, pick a shortcut, and choose your apps. Takes two minutes — and you'll never set up this workspace from scratch again.

STEP 02

Add Your Apps

Browse your installed apps and pick which ones belong. Set where each window lands. Do it once and it's done.

STEP 03

One Click, Done

Hit Launch or press your shortcut. Apps open in sequence, windows arrange themselves. First real task of the day: actual work.

Starter Templates

Your workspace, ready in seconds.

Pick a template and your profile is ready to launch. One is free — the rest unlock with Premium.
