A piece of software that I really want: A way to save all the tabs and window _of a particular desktop_.

I can save all of the tabs of a window, with eg . And my browser can save ALL my open windows to open next time.

I want something in between.one-tab.com

I make heavy use of the OSX feature "desktops", which allows multiple separate workspaces in parelell.

I'll typically have a desktop for my logging and tracking, one for chats and coms, one with open blog posts, one with writing projects, one with an open coding project, etc.

Basically, all of these are separate contexts that I can switch between for doing different kind of work.

What I want to be able to do is save each of those contexts, and re-open them later.

I want to be able to click a button to close and save all the open windows (and all of their tabs) that on a particular desktop, and then click a button to reopen them all again.

And crucially, it doesn't close the windows in OTHER desktops.

Ideally, it would also save the relative size and location of all the windows, so that they open in the same places as where they were when I saved them.

But that's an extra benefit.

Ideally, it would work across applications: I can save browser windows, an open pdfs, open text editor files, etc. (Again, without closing other windows of that application on other desktops.)

But I would get 90+% of the value from just a tool for web browser windows.

Does some version of this exist?
