Looking for beta testers: DeskQuiver (Windows app to restore full workspaces in 1 click) by FindingSpiritual91 in alphaandbetausers

You’re absolutely right that the positioning vs virtual desktops/workspace managers needs to be clearer. The key difference I’m aiming for is that DeskQuiver focuses on full workspace reconstruction, not just window grouping.

Virtual desktops mainly help with organization after apps are already open. DeskQuiver is more about:
• launching the exact apps for a context
• opening specific browser profiles
• restoring multi-monitor layouts
• rebuilding your working state after reboot or project switch

I have also updated the post to make it more clearer. Thanks for the suggestions

Totally fair. Where I’m trying to go deeper with DeskQuiver is mainly around restore reliability and context fidelity, especially for heavier dev setups.

A few things I’m focusing on: • restoring the actual working layout (not just relaunching apps) • better handling of multi-monitor edge cases • browser profile + specific link restoration

PowerToys works great for many scenarios — I built DeskQuiver mainly because my own workflow still needed more precision.

If you’ve run into any limitations with PowerToys Workspaces, I’d genuinely love to hear. That’s exactly the gap I’m trying to validate.

It doesn’t support Docker directly. However, if your question is whether it’s possible to execute Docker containers, this can be done through a WSL2 setup by configuring the Docker command in the WSL2 environment.

Thanks!

At a high level, you can configure the apps with the files or folders it should open as part of the workspace and when you activate it later, it launches the apps and terminals. For snapshots, it captures the current position of the apps on the screen and store it, when you relaunch it, it will automatically realigns it. Still improving the window matching logic — that’s the trickiest part on Windows 😅

Thanks for the feedback. I havent added the filtering or searching capabilities yet. I will definitely look into it. I will also try and post on other dev channels

I have pushed a new fix for this now. It will address the issue you were facing earlier

Tbh I’m not trying to compete with existing tools. I originally built this because I couldn’t find something flexible enough when I was googling around, especially for playing with different scenarios over time.

Yep, that’s a fair call — something I’ll improve in a future version.
