Human context switching.

I'm being cheeky; I mean closing down and bringing up all relevant applications, their state (open windows, tabs, files...) and so on for working on a given task or project.

Sort of like a workspace manager for the OS. Releasing an open beta this fall.

There's a short, low-res demo that kinda illustrates the basic concept on https://cleave.app

Good idea! I recently identified this as one of the huge obstacles in my workflow and now I am looking for options to save and manage my sessions in Linux / i3.

So far i3-resurrect looks promising, anybody else have suggestions?
