Orbl vs ScreenPlace

Orbl replaces a static macOS wallpaper with calm widgets for time, weather, focus and system stats, plus revenue and audience metrics with Premium.

ScreenPlace stores the size and placement of each app window on a Mac and restores them on demand, with workspaces and templates for different tasks.

About Orbl

Orbl is a macOS app that turns the desktop background into a quiet information display. Widgets for the clock, weather, sunset, air quality, device batteries, CPU and memory, focus rhythm, reminders and countdowns sit on the wallpaper and stay out of the way until a keyboard shortcut reveals more. The free app includes every built in widget and needs no account. A one time Premium upgrade adds integrations such as Stripe, Lemon Squeezy, Gumroad, Polar, GitHub, Ahrefs, Reddit, Product Hunt and Hacker News, so founders can see revenue and traction at a glance. Premium is 39 USD for the first 50 buyers, then 49 USD. It requires macOS 14 on Apple Silicon.

About ScreenPlace

ScreenPlace is a native window manager for macOS Sonoma or later. It stores where each app window belongs and returns it to that spot, either when the app launches or with one click on a small floating badge that sits beside each window. Apps can be grouped into unlimited workspaces and switched from the menu bar or a keyboard shortcut, with layouts applied on each switch. Templates hold exact X and Y coordinates plus width and height that can be reused across apps, and separate setups can be kept for each connected display. The app is free to download, and the paid version is a one time payment with no subscription.
