RestoreMeNot
RestoreMeNot is a macOS utility that prevents applications from auto-restoring their previous windows and state when launched. By default, macOS automatically reopens the windows and interface elements that were open when an app last quit, which can clutter the workspace or restore unwanted states. RestoreMeNot lets users selectively disable this behavior on a per-app basis, keeping applications in a clean state each time they start. It is useful for power users and developers who prefer explicit control over their application environment.

1 suggestionWe could not find public information about RestoreMeNot to confirm whether a native Apple Silicon build exists or what the current development status is. Given that the app is not widely documented online, contact the developer directly to ask whether a native Apple Silicon build is available and what their plans are before macOS 28 ships in September 2028 — an Intel-only build will stop launching entirely on that release. As an alternative, consider system-level approaches such as disabling window restoration via macOS's native preferences (unchecking "Reopen windows when logging back in" in System Settings → General → Close windows when quitting an app) or using more actively maintained open-source utilities like Cascable or Overflow 3, both of which have confirmed native Apple Silicon support.
