IkunaIkuna vs Lattix
Both save window layouts and relaunch apps. The gap is browser tab restore, focus analytics, and pricing.
Lattix and Ikuna both save complete window layouts — capturing window positions, sizes, and monitor assignments — and relaunch closed apps when a preset is activated. The core save/restore experience is similar. Where they diverge: Ikuna also restores browser tabs as part of a context, while Lattix does not. Ikuna adds a focus-analytics dashboard and Focus Shield distraction blocking; Lattix has neither. Lattix's pricing ($13.99–19.99 one-time) is lower than Ikuna Pro (€9/mo), though Ikuna has a permanent free tier. Both run on macOS 13+.

Where Ikuna has the advantage
Browser tabs are part of the restore
Lattix captures window positions and launches apps, but does not restore browser tabs. Ikuna restores browser tabs as part of a full context, so you return to the same state — not just the same window frame.
Focus analytics and distraction blocking
Lattix is a preset launcher with no analytics layer. Ikuna records context-switching patterns and lets you block specific apps during focus sessions with Focus Shield.
Where Lattix has the advantage
One-time purchase, lower price
Lattix is $13.99–19.99 paid once. Ikuna Pro is €9/month. For users who just want the save/restore core without the focus analytics, Lattix is cheaper.
Lightweight and simple
Lattix runs with minimal background resources and has a focused, simple interface — no dashboard, no analytics, no extra layer to configure.
The bottom line
Lattix and Ikuna share the same core mechanic — save a layout, restore it later with a shortcut — but Lattix stops there. If that core is all you need and you'd rather pay once than subscribe, Lattix is a reasonable, lightweight choice. Ikuna's additions (browser tab restore, focus analytics, Focus Shield) justify the subscription for users who want more than a layout preset.
