Memmon remembers what your Mac forgets – A simple deamon that restores your window positions on external monitors.
## Install
1. You will need macOS 10.10 or newer.
2. Grant Memmon the Accessibility privilege. Go to "System Preference" > "Security & Privacy" > "Accessibility" and add Memmon to that list. Otherwise, you can't move other application windows around and the app has no purpose.
3. Thats it. The app runs in your status bar.
### Status Icon
You can hide the status icon either via `defaults` or the same-titled menu entry. If you do so, the only way to quit the app is by killing the process (with Activity.app or `killall Memmon`).
Memmon has exactly one app-setting, the status icon. You can manipulate the display of the icon, or hide the icon completely:
```sh
# disable status icon completely
defaults write de.relikd.Memmon icon -int 0
# Use window-dots-icon
defaults write de.relikd.Memmon icon -int 1
# Use monitor-with-windows icon (default)
defaults write de.relikd.Memmon icon -int 2
# re-enable status icon and use default icon
defaults delete de.relikd.Memmon icon
```

### What is it good for?
First off, Memmon is just 130 lines of code – no dependencies. You can audit it in 5 minutes. Or just build it from scratch if you like (just run `make`).

Secondly, it does one thing and one thing only: Save and restore window positions whenever your monitor setup changes.

### Develop
You can either run the `main.swift` file directly with `swift main.swift`, via Terminal `./main.swift` (`chmod 755 main.swift`), or create a new Xcode project. Select the Command-Line template and after creation replace the existing `main.swift` with the bundled one.
To build the app run `make`.
### Hide Status Icon
You can hide the status icon either via the same-titled menu entry. If you do so, the only way to quit the app is by killing the process (with Activity.app or `killall Memmon`).
If you like to hide the icon directly on launch, use this app-setting:
```sh
# disable status icon completely
defaults write de.relikd.Memmon invisible -bool True
# re-enable status icon
defaults delete de.relikd.Memmon invisible
```
