What's new

Updates and improvements to moldr.

Version 0.1.8

1 Jul 2026

A mold now brings its saved browser tabs back into a Chrome window you already have open — added in the background, without disturbing your current tabs.

Highlights

  • Saved tabs come back when a window is reused. If the screen you load a mold on already has a Chrome window, moldr resizes it and opens the mold's saved tabs in it — in the background, keeping the tabs you have open and skipping any that are already there. If there's no Chrome window on that screen, it still opens a new one with the tabs, as before.

Version 0.1.7

30 Jun 2026

Dragging an edge no longer pulls the wrong window out of place when two windows of the same app are open.

Highlights

  • Drag-lines grab the right window. With two windows of the same app side by side (e.g. two Chrome windows), dragging the boundary between them now resizes the intended window instead of yanking an unrelated one — so a window no longer disappears and leaves the desktop showing through.

Version 0.1.6

17 Jun 2026

Apps open on another screen now come to their slot, and molds with a web app load instantly.

Highlights

  • Apps on another screen come home. When a mold expects an app (Slack, Notion, and the like) that's open on a different monitor, moldr now brings that window to its place — instead of reporting it couldn't be placed.
  • Instant loads with web apps. Molds that include a Chrome web app (like YouTube Music) no longer take a couple of minutes to apply.

Version 0.1.5

17 Jun 2026

Loading a mold onto a different-sized screen now keeps every window — and puts the right one in each slot.

Highlights

  • The right window in every slot. When the window a mold expects is open on another screen, moldr now brings that exact window to its place instead of grabbing an unrelated one — so nothing looks "missing" after a load.
  • No squished or overlapping windows. Rescaling a mold onto a smaller or differently-shaped screen now keeps stacked windows stacked and side-by-side windows tidy, with no overlap.
  • Tidier drag-lines. The edge drag-line now spans just the two windows it separates, instead of running the full width or height of the screen.

Version 0.1.4

13 Jun 2026

Reloading a mold no longer opens duplicate browser or terminal windows, even when two windows have similar titles.

Highlights

  • No duplicate windows on reload. When a mold has two browser or terminal windows whose titles look alike, reloading it now rearranges the windows you already have instead of opening copies. moldr only opens a window that's genuinely closed.

Version 0.1.3

13 Jun 2026

Loading a mold on a different-sized screen now lays windows out cleanly, without duplicates.

Highlights

  • Cleaner rescaling. When you save a mold on a dual-monitor setup and load it on a single, differently-proportioned screen, side-by-side windows now stay side by side instead of getting stacked on top of each other.
  • No duplicate browser windows. A browser window's title changes with its active tab, which could make a reload think the window was closed and open a copy. moldr now recognizes it and rearranges the window you already have.

Version 0.1.2

12 Jun 2026

Reloading a mold now rearranges your terminal windows instead of opening new ones.

Highlights

  • Terminals keep their windows. Terminal windows retitle themselves as you work, which could make a reload think they were closed and spawn duplicates. moldr now recognizes them and puts the windows you already have back into their slots.
  • Windows come home. If you've moved a saved terminal window to another display, reloading the mold brings that exact window back instead of opening a copy.
  • Type the name right away. The save dialog now focuses the name field the moment it opens.

Version 0.1.1

11 Jun 2026

Saving feels instant, loading is more reliable, and installing is a single drag.

Highlights

  • Save = active. The moment you save a mold, it becomes the active one — edge drag-lines and snap guides work right away, no load needed.
  • Steadier loading. Wide windows no longer get squeezed by neighboring columns when a mold loads, and terminal windows aren't duplicated on repeated loads.
  • Chrome, fully found. Profiles, web apps, and automation can run Chrome as several processes — moldr now checks them all, so windows are placed instead of reported missing.
  • Clearer panel. The active mold is marked with a dot, and releasing it is a separate, clearly-labeled control.
  • License window. A pasted license key is now fully visible while you activate.
  • Drag-to-install. The download is now a disk image — drag moldr into Applications and you're done.

Version 0.1.0

6 Jun 2026

The first public release of moldr.

Highlights

  • Molds. Save your window arrangement once; one shortcut launches every app, reopens its windows, and tiles them back into place — even from an empty desktop.
  • Content comes back. Finder folders, Chrome tabs, and terminal commands (Terminal, Ghostty, iTerm2) reopen with the layout, so the workspace is truly ready.
  • Edge drag-lines. Grab the line between windows to resize the whole group at once; double-click to put it back.
  • Snapping. Halves, quarters, and thirds by shortcut or by dragging to a zone — with a visual editor and conflict warnings.
  • Every display. Molds rescale to the screen you call them on, and multi-display setups restore left-to-right.
  • Conflict detection. moldr spots other window managers that can steal its shortcuts and offers to quit them.
