Dual screen setup

That tool sounds promising, and I tested the trial, but directly saw that I cant place the apps on my BOTH screens. So it's useless for me. If you support dual screen setups, it would be an instant buy.

Released multi-monitor support in latest version! Since it's a new feature, some things might break but just let me know and I'll fix it.

Tommy: Just got into the office. Multi-monitor support is really intuitive! Nice work. However, I have a slightly strange setup. One of my Studio Displays in mounted vertically, so I think that's throwing off placement of windows on all screens.

Tommy

Tyson Caly: Good catch! I missed that because my external monitors are all mounted horizontally. I'll let you know when a new update is out. Were there any other bugs you found?

Tyson Caly

Tommy: Not so sure it's a bug as it's a feature, but if you trigger a Profile multiple times that has URLs attached to it, they just continue to open in new tabs. I don't know if this use case happens that often, but I suppose if you switch back and forth between profiles that trigger the same URLs, it might duplicate. As an example, Profiles I've got set up are "Office" with multi-monitors and "Mobile" two different experiences but I may have the same needs on both. Certainly not the end of the world. ;)

Tommy

Tyson Caly: I just released a new update which should fix the vertical placement issue and duplicate URLs.

Multi-monitor and multi Space support will be very helpful! Thanks. Will you ever support more Screen Positions? ie Moom, which you've used, offers nice way to custom position app windows and allows for pixel spacing between windows. This is super helpful from a window management perspective.

Tommy

Tyson Caly: Yes! I'm currently brainstorming how to make custom positioning more intuitive. Do you find Moom's grid sizing UI intuitive?

Tyson Caly

Tommy: Yeah, Moom is really flexible. I often want certain apps to take up specific space on each screen. Quadrants only get you so far. Some of our team use ultra wide screens so thirds can be helpful. But even smaller options are really important. As an example, an FTP program and Terminal don't need to take up so much space, and sit on the side of my screen.

Tommy

Tyson Caly: Gotcha! How do you usually setup layouts? Is it through their Window Layout Snapshot or do you set it up manually?

Also, just out of curiosity, do you mind if I see a partial screenshot of your Moom custom layouts?

Tyson Caly

Tommy: I set up custom layouts that I then save to a Snapshot. Happy to share. Can I email you?

Tyson Caly: Sure! You can reach me at cstlee32@gmail.com

Thanks for the feedback, Chris! We're planning to roll out multi-monitor support this week so I'll let you know when it's out
