What is ditto?

Ditto is a productivity app for Mac that helps you save a working setup and return to it later without rebuilding everything by hand. It is designed for people who juggle multiple projects, research sessions, or recurring task sets across browser tabs, documents, and desktop apps. Ditto lets you group open items into workspaces, close them when you are done, and reopen the same setup when you want to continue. This can be useful for students, knowledge workers, and anyone who switches contexts often during the day. The app focuses on reducing friction when moving between tasks, especially when your work depends on several windows and apps staying organized together. Ditto is published by Luke Steenge.

Key features

• Save open tabs, documents, and applications into a workspace
• Reopen an entire saved workspace in one click
• Close a workspace when you want to clear your desktop
• Switch between different projects without rebuilding your setup
• Resume recurring task sets with the same collection of apps and files

Safety overview

Status: Mostly safe

Ditto’s behavior is consistent with a workspace manager: it needs awareness of your open apps, documents, and browser sessions to save and restore your setup. That kind of access is normal for this purpose, but it can involve visibility into what you have open while you use the app. Keep it only if you use workspace-saving features, and review any permissions you grant so access matches how you work.

Recommendation: Keep Ditto if you actively use it to save and restore project setups or switch between recurring work contexts. If you no longer use workspace snapshots, removing it should mainly affect that convenience rather than your other apps.
