Install

Open the downloaded Layouts.dmg.
Drag Layouts into Applications.
Open Layouts from Applications (or Spotlight). It lives in the menu bar — there is no Dock icon.
When asked, turn on Layouts under System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility. That permission is required so Layouts can move windows.

If macOS says the app can’t be opened, Control-click Layouts in Applications, choose Open, then Open again. After the first launch, left-click the menu bar icon to restore, or right-click to save.

First layout

Arrange your windows the way you want.
Right-click the Layouts icon and choose Save, or press Control-Option-Command-S.
Mess the windows up, then left-click the icon (or Control-Option-Command-R) to put them back.

Save once at each resolution you use (for example full width and half width). Layouts restores the layout that matches the current screen size. More detail: Layouts support.

Uninstall

Quit Layouts from the menu bar, then move /Applications/Layouts.app to the Trash. Saved layouts stay in the app’s Application Support folder until you delete that folder too.
