Skip the setup

Go straight to what matters.
Everything else is already in place.

Save a working moment once. Scene brings the right apps, windows, and supported tabs back together whenever you choose that scene—no hunting, reopening, or rearranging.

Why context matters

A scene for every mode

Work. Create.
Plan. Unwind.

Give each part of your day a return point, then move between them without rebuilding your workspace.

One click back

The same live windows—or the supported resources behind them.

Scene shows what can return, then uses the safest available path.

Live ReturnSame open windows

When the apps and windows are still open, Scene brings those originals forward and restores their saved positions.

  • Same windows, not copies
  • Saved positions and focus
  • Unsaved state stays in its app
Guided ReopenSupported resources

If something was closed, Scene previews the tabs, folders, projects, and terminal locations it can reopen, then asks before acting.

  • Tabs, folders, projects, and terminal locations
  • Previewed before opening
  • Clear about anything unsupported

Local by design

Your working set belongs on your Mac.

Your captures are stored locally. Scene has no workspace account, no content sync, and no reason to upload what you are working on.

  • No ads or content profiling
  • No screenshots or keystroke capture
  • Automation access is optional
  • Delete checkpoints at any time

Straight answers

A few things worth knowing.

Can I use Scene without buying it?+

Yes. Scene Free has no time limit and includes the complete capture-and-return workflow for up to four saved scenes. Delete one whenever you want to make room, or unlock unlimited scenes with Pro.

Is this a full Mac time machine?+

No. Scene returns exact live windows and can rebuild supported resources after they close. It does not roll back your Mac, your files, or process memory.

How is Scene different from browser history or a workspace launcher?+

History finds a page. Launchers open a fixed collection. Scene captures what is open now and keeps the identity of the original live windows so it can bring them back without duplicating them.

What permissions are required?+

Accessibility lets Scene read and restore window position, size, and focus. Automation is requested per app only when Scene needs to remember or reopen supported tabs, folders, or projects.

What happens when the original app has quit?+

Scene previews the supported tabs, folders, or projects it can reopen and asks first. Anything it cannot restore is named clearly.

What happens after 12 months?+

Your licensed Scene 1.x build keeps working. Twelve months refers to the included update window, not an expiration date. You can choose whether a future major upgrade is worth buying.

Why not a subscription?+

Scene is a utility, not a service that needs to run in our cloud. The current version is a one-time purchase.
