Amhara
Private beta · macOS

Faster startLonger focus.

A Mac app that opens your workspace in one click and
and proactively closes idle apps you're not using.

Amhara desktop window with Deep Work live and six named Sessions

Every session you spend time openingthe same desktop apps.

Opening each application individually slows down your entry into deep focus.

How the morning changes

A quieter Mac, and a desk that's already open

You get into the work instead of setting the same windows up again.

Idle apps get
out of the way

The apps you forgot stop competing for the screen and for memory. When auto-close is on, they hide first, then quit after a delay you choose. It stays off until you turn it on.

Straight into the work

Open a Session and the windows are already where you placed them. You are not lining the same apps up again.

Unsaved work stays safe

Amhara will not close an app that still has unsaved changes. It keeps it open, tells you, and leaves the close to you.

Microsoft Word kept open

Unsaved changes detected. Save your work and close manually.

Voice

Open a Session with your voice

On-device. Say the Session to start it, or end the one that's running.

Listening

Also in the app

Less setup, every time you switch

The files, the tabs, and the meeting desk are already there when you are.

Distractions stay out

While a Session is on, apps that are not part of it can hide and quit, so the desk stays the one you set.

The meeting desk is ready

A Session can start from a keyboard shortcut, a schedule, or a matching calendar event, so you are not assembling it by hand.

Clear the screen in one key

Set a key to clear the clutter and snap your apps into an even layout, the same arrangement a Session uses.

The same files and sites, already open

Add project files and sites to a Session. They open in the apps you chose, so you are not hunting for yesterday's tabs.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How a Session works, what stays open, and where your data stays.

View all FAQ
(01)How does Amhara work?

You set up a Session once, with the apps, files, sites, and layout you want. Open it in one click. If you turn auto-close on, idle apps hide first, then quit after a delay you choose.

(02)What is a Session?

A named desk you configure once and open in one click. Amhara can close apps that are not part of it, open the apps, files, and sites you chose, and put the windows where you placed them. Start one from the menu bar, a shortcut, a schedule, or a matching calendar event.

(03)Will Amhara close an app I am working in?

Not if it still has unsaved work. Auto-close is off until you turn it on. When it is on, an idle app hides first, then quits after a delay you choose. If Amhara finds unsaved work, it keeps the app open and tells you, so you can save and close it yourself.

(04)Does Amhara collect or send my data?

No. The apps you use, your Session setups, and your window layouts stay on your Mac. There is no analytics, telemetry, or third-party tracking in the app. The only optional network path is signing in to manage beta access.
