Hi,

I was wondering if it was possible to create different workspaces on a macbook

I have different clients, and each one requires a different gsuite login, different folders, notes, programs, etc.

Different desktops doesn't do the trick (I usually use a couple for each client)

I tried creating different users. I thought it would be great if each user was already logged in to google, etc and I could switch between them and have nothing but their work, no other distractions.

But it seems to have taken a lot of memory. When I was logged in to 2, was super slow. Had to reset.

As mentioned, having various desktops doesn't do the trick

At the moment I use different browsers to have different gsuite logins (often with 1 in normal, another in incognito)... but gets crowded pretty quickly.

So, was wondering if there were any other solutions / ideas??

Thanks

I don’t believe there is anything in macOS to complete your request. OS/2 Warp had this capability in Presentation Manager, where opening a folder would open / process everything contained in said folder and would remember program screen window placement, etc.

I haven’t seen this functionality replicated in any other OS. Maybe it’s possible to implement similar behaviors by programming folder actions??? Not sure how robust that functionality is, or if it’s been deprecated since they let the Automator guy go. My MBP is in the shop or I’d look to see if Folder Actions still exists.

Edit: You could also look into shell scripts. There may be some shell jockeys in the macOS forum here that could better aid you in your quest.
