Press F1 and Rebind opens your work apps, places each window on its part of the screen, and starts your music. By default Linear goes on the left half, Notion on the right half, and Spotify starts playing.
Needs Rebind 3.5.0 or newer on Windows or macOS. It requests the exec permission so it can start programs on Windows.
Set up
On the Apps and Music tabs, set each app's name, where it goes, and on Windows how to start it:
- macOS: the name is the app's name, such as
Notion. macOS opens it if it is not running. - Windows: the name is the program's file name without
.exe, such asNotion. If the app is closed, Rebind starts it with the launch command when you set one (the full path to the program), and otherwise asks Windows to start it by name, which works only for apps Windows can find that way.
Leave an app name empty to skip it.
Settings
- Open and arrange the day: default F1. Key changes apply while the package runs on Rebind 3.9 or newer; on older versions, restart the package.
- First app goes and Second app goes: Left half, Right half, or Full screen: the screen under the pointer on Windows (without the taskbar), the main screen on macOS.
- Start playing: on Windows Rebind presses the Play media key; on macOS it presses Space in the music app, which plays or pauses Spotify.
Limits
- Each app gets up to 5 seconds to come to the front; if it does not, a notice says so and the next app goes on. Notices appear in Rebind; to see them on the desktop, turn on Desktop notifications in Rebind's settings.
- Play is a toggle: if music is already playing, it pauses.
- Live use remains unverified on Windows and macOS.
Stop
Stop the package from the editor toolbar, or press Left Ctrl + Left Alt + K (Left Control + Left Option + K on macOS) to stop all scripts.
