Where Was I?
Save your workspace. Come back knowing what to do.
A native Mac app for side projects, deep work, and the awkward moment when your brain or your token budget runs out before the work does.
Version 0.1.0, build 22. Requires macOS 15 or later.
One workflow, start to return.
Save the checkpoint, take a break, come back ready.
The pause is the problem
Most tools help you start. This helps you return.
When you stop mid-flow, the real cost is not closing the laptop. It is rebuilding the stack in your head later: what was open, what you decided, what was blocked, and what the very next move should be.
Save a checkpoint
Capture the screenshot, apps, browser tabs, context notes, and a next step in one local bundle.
Resume with context
Reopen what matters and land on a short return briefing instead of a cold start.
Built for interrupted work
Keep momentum even when the session has to stop.
Pick up where you left off
Save the visible state of the work, the apps involved, the useful sites, and the thought you do not want to reconstruct tomorrow.
Make side projects survivable
Keep half-finished ideas warm between evenings, weekends, client work, and life admin.
Take a break without guilt
When you have burned through your token budget or your attention budget, leave yourself a clean re-entry point.
Know before you reopen
Check what will open, what is already active, and what needs attention before you restore the workspace.
Different work, same problem
Whatever you’re trying to keep moving.
Where Was I? gives your projects a dependable way back, whether you’re switching between responsibilities or returning after a break.
When the tokens run out
Save the thread before the session stops.
When everything is open
Keep the important work from getting lost in the noise.
When study has to wait
Come back to the next small step after a break.
When you’re building something
Keep side projects warm between the rest of life.
One calm return path
Everything stays in context.
Save the project history, the current workspace, and only the apps and tabs you want to reopen.

Screenshots, apps, tabs, notes
