Spatial Finder for macOS This project contains scripts that once installed, make the macOS Finder remember every folder's size and position on the screen and restores it when you revisit said folder. Only folders inside the Documents folder are affected. This is inspired by the following article: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2003/04/finder/ . demo.webm Requirements yabai Installation Link all 5 scripts to a place in the path and execute install.sh to install the yabai rules. For example: sudo ln -s /Users/...full-path-here.../spatialfinder_loadstate.sh /usr/local/bin/ How does it work Every time a Finder window is resized or moved, its new size and position are stored in a hidden .framedata.json file in that folder. When a folder is opened, this file is used to restore its state. Known issues When two folders of the same name exist, the state is not saved nor is it restored.
