Amhara
Features

Everything Amhara does for your Mac.

Closes what you've forgotten, switches your setup between contexts, keeps your desk the way you left it. Set up once.

Requires macOS 26 or later.

Idle apps

Stop paying attention to what you're not using.

Amhara notices the apps you've forgotten are open, and closes them for you, on your terms.

Idle for 12 min
Auto-close after delay
Whitelist to exempt

Never lose work

Auto-close has limits, on purpose.

You decide if auto-close runs at all. These apps are exempt from it no matter what.

Never auto-closed

Exempt from every close Amhara can trigger, idle-based or manual. No setting changes this. You can still quit them yourself the normal macOS way, anytime.

Warned before closing

Gets a 2-minute warning first, not an instant quit.

On top of both tiers, Amhara checks for unsaved documents in known editors first and skips the close if it finds one. Auto-close itself is off until you turn it on, and even then you choose the idle delay, whitelist any app, or set a custom threshold per app.

Focus Modes

Build the setup you want, then trigger it in one move.

Set it up once. From then on, Amhara does the switching for you, closing what you don't need and opening what you do, without you touching each app yourself.

1

Build it once

What closes, what launches, which sites open, how the windows tile.

2

Trigger it your way

A shortcut, a schedule, a calendar match, or a tap.

3

Amhara runs it

Apps close, apps launch, windows land where you set them.

Triggering modes

Turn a mode on without touching your mouse.

You don't open Amhara and click through menus. Press one combination and it's already done, anywhere on your Mac, even if Amhara isn't the active app, and it warns you before a conflict, not after.

Or skip the shortcut entirely: modes can start themselves on a schedule, around a matching calendar event, or from Apple's Shortcuts app.

Example combination, click and hold to feel it. You assign your own keys per mode, and it works anywhere on your Mac, not just while Amhara is the active app.

Your workspace

Save a layout. Get it back exactly.

Save your window layout under a name, restore it later, positions and all, across every display. One click instead of rebuilding it by hand.

Visibility

See what Amhara is actually doing for you.

A real dashboard, not just a menu bar icon: idle detections and closes, memory freed, focus time this week, and what is actually driving your CPU or memory right now.

It also learns, and suggests a tighter threshold or a new Focus Mode from patterns it notices. You accept or dismiss every suggestion yourself.

Example week, not live data. Your own Insights dashboard reflects your actual Mac.

Make it yours

Fits into your Mac, not the other way around.

Match your system, or set it to always light or always dark. Turn on launch at login once, and it's already running next time you sit down.

Amhara is currently in private beta for macOS.
