If you're the owner of a portable Mac, this is a must-have app! You've probably had the experience of connecting your laptop to a low-res projector or television, only to find your windows shrunken and gathered in a corner when you detach it.

If you're the owner of a portable Mac, this is a must-have app! You've probably had the experience of connecting your laptop to a low-res projector or television, only to find your windows shrunken and gathered in a corner when you detach it. Forget-Me-Not solves that problem.

Forget-Me-Not is a background application that keeps track of the positions and sizes of your windows. When you change the configuration of your screens (e.g. by connecting or disconnecting an external monitor or projector from a notebook) FMN does two things:

• Before the configuration changes, it saves the states (positions and sizes) of your windows.
• After the configuration changes, it moves and resizes your windows to match the way they were laid out the last time you were in this configuration.

This way you can connect to low-resolution projectors with confidence, knowing that your windows will be restored to their current positions and sizes when you disconnect. If you work dual-head with a large external monitor but take your laptop home for the night, your windows will go back where you left them when you reconnect the next day.

Forget-Me-Not is free and open-source, licensed under the GNU Lesser GPL.

What's New:
Bug-fix release. Fixed all known memory leaks!
Also excluded MS Word since it can't handle its windows being moved/resized.

Requirements:
It requires “access for assistive devices” to be enabled in the Universal Access preference pane.
