Small tools that save you time.
We build apps for our own business first. Each one runs on our own desks until it proves itself, and only then do we release it to you.
Arguta Desk
For Windows 10 and 11, with a free Chrome add-on
Split your screens into zones and save your working desk. After every restart, crash or power cut, every app comes back on the right screen, in its zone, full height, with the windows you want on top.
- Screen zones, set once. Split each screen into halves, thirds, 2/3 + 1/3 or your own sizes. Drag a window in and it fits exactly, edge to edge, full height.
- Every app, back in its zone. Each window returns to its screen, its zone and its place in the stack. New windows open in the zone their app last used.
- Safe after a crash. Windows that come back by themselves and are not in your save are closed, so you start from the desk you saved.
- Chrome profiles too. Profiles open when you saved come back, minimised ones stay minimised, and profiles you had closed stay closed. A free add-on saves your tabs by hand.
- A quiet start. Apps you saved minimised come back minimised and muted, so nothing plays out loud.
- Monitors off? No problem. It waits until every saved screen is on, then lays out your desk.
- You can see it working. A note in the corner shows each step, counts down while slow apps finish loading, then turns green when your desk is ready.
- Stays on your PC. Your desk is saved on your own computer. Nothing is sent to us.
Save at night. Back in the morning.
Set your zones once. Save when your desk changes. The rest happens on its own.
Set your zones once
Pick Full, Split in 2, Split in 3 or 2/3 + 1/3 for each screen, then drag the lines to your sizes.
Arrange and save
Drag your apps into their zones, minimise the rest, and click Save my desk.
Switch on. Ready.
Sign in to Windows. The note counts down, then turns green. Your desk is back, even after a crash.

Before you download.
Can I buy Arguta Desk today?
Not yet. Version 2.0.7 runs every day on our own PCs and is now with outside testers. Next it goes on sale through the Microsoft Store. Tap "Tell me when it launches" and we email you on the day.
Which computers does it work on?
Windows 10 and Windows 11 PCs, with one screen or several. The Chrome add-on works with Google Chrome.
Do I need Chrome?
No. Arguta Desk restores your Windows apps and your Chrome windows on its own. Chrome brings back its own tabs. The free Chrome add-on is an extra: a manual save of your tabs and tab groups, keeping your last 6 saves.
What are zones?
The sections you split each screen into. Choose a start (Full, Split in 2, Split in 3, 2/3 + 1/3, 2 x 2), drag the lines to your sizes, and split any zone top and bottom. Drag a window by its title bar and the zones light up; let go and it fits exactly, full height. You choose whether zones light up on every drag, only while holding Shift, or not at all.
What happens after a crash or power cut?
Windows and Chrome often reopen extra windows by themselves. Arguta Desk closes any that are not in your save, then puts your saved desk back. Anything you open yourself after signing in is left alone.
I use more than one Chrome profile. Does it cope?
Yes. Each Chrome window is saved with its profile. Profiles open when you saved come back, minimised ones stay minimised, and profiles you had closed stay closed.
Why does the note count down at the end?
Some apps, such as Spotify and Signal, take a few seconds to finish loading and then resize themselves. Arguta Desk waits for them and locks them back into their zones, so the countdown is the slow apps, not Arguta Desk. Green means everything is done.
I already use FancyZones or a similar tool.
Switch off its snapping before you use Arguta Desk zones. Two tools moving the same windows will fight each other. Arguta Desk does zones and restoring in one app.
What if my monitors are switched off when the PC starts?
Arguta Desk waits until every screen in your saved desk is on, then restores. If your monitors run from a smart plug, switch them on whenever you are ready.
How much will it cost?
One payment, with no subscription. Try it free for 7 days first through the Microsoft Store, and the Store shows the price before you buy. The Chrome add-on is free.
Who makes Arguta apps?

No. Your saved desk and the log stay in a folder on your own PC. Arguta Desk does not send anything to Arguta. Read the Arguta Desk privacy policy.
