Workspaces

Opens every file, app and site for a project at once

Mac$19.99 once

The verdict

Click a project in the menu bar and Workspaces opens its folders, files, apps, websites and even Mail messages at once, then closes them again with its QuitApps plugin when you move on. It suits anyone who bounces between clients or courses every day. It does not remember window positions, so pair it with Snapset or a window manager if layout matters, and Workspaces 3 will be a paid upgrade.
