Auto Layout for multiple apps at the same time
I use Auto Layout a lot. But now I have to select an app, press the shortcut for auto-layout and it gets placed where I want it. In the morning, I start several apps I always use. Now I have to select and place all of them. I would like Auto Layout to work with multiple apps at the same time, like Moom does it.
Have a group of apps, assign a hotkey to it, press that hotkey and all apps in the group get to their position.
I like that you can have different Auto Layouts for the same app, depending on the monitor it is currently active on. For my idea, I would like to be able to set on which monitor that particular app should be placed as well.
So I have 2 monitors, I set Auto Layout locations for each app on the monitor they are currently on. I put all of that in a group and assign a shortcut. When the apps are active on any of the active monitors, the shortcut should send them to their correct position on the correct monitor.
If you guys get this done, you would make me very happy. This is the only reason why I still have Moom installed.

To spin the idea a little further: It would be nice to have different layouts per group. I often rearrange my windows depending on the task at hand. If I could store each of these arrangements in a group and recall it with a shortcut this would be a great help.
I guess I could achieve that with the "Save/Restore Window Layouts" feature Moom offers, but I'd rather not have two apps for the same task.
