autorandr VS hammerspoon

could use the postswitch hook provided by autorandr, though this would require letting autorandr manage your display layout as well: https://github.com/phillipberndt/autorandr

autorandr worked great for me for hot plugging when I would frequently use my laptop with two external monitors.

Autorandr does run in the background as it is a daemon. For systemd integration see https://github.com/phillipberndt/autorandr/blob/master/contrib/systemd/autorandr.service

I use autorandr (https://github.com/phillipberndt/autorandr) to load display configurations with a hotkey. I'm 100% sure there is a "better" way of doing so over my setup.

If your using X11, try autorandr. It's a bit clunky for me with the windows moving around after waking up but they eventually find where they're supposed to be... mostly.

I would suggest taking a look at something like autorandr to help dynamically adjust your settings when you connect/disconnect.

There's also autorandr that allows you to save monitor setups and automatically switch between them as you connect/disconnect displays

No, but you can save settings to script and run on login. Arandr does it with GUI. Autorandr automates and manages multiple setups.

Another option for hacking something like this together could be HammerSpoon. I’ve spent some time with it, but haven’t tried integrating with Apple Notes, I mostly did stuff at the file system level to keep it easy.

For basic window tiling, I stumbled across Hammerspoon and the MiroWindowsManager spoon.

I use hammerspoon a lot and it seemed like scheduling SelfControl could be done using it so I created Hammer Control. Check it out!

Hammerspoon - Price: Free Desktop automation tool for macOS that allows you to write Lua scripts to control your Mac.

Assuming no one has a cut-and-dried solution that just works, would something like this be possible with say, AppleScript or another scripting tool like Hammerspoon? I've not used either of these tools before, but would be open to seeking out a scripting solution on my own if it's viable. Or am I going to run into insurmountable security restrictions?

Spark (not the email app). There are others like Hotkey and Hammerspoon.

I have tried different tools for this including Rectangle, but I've finally settled with hammerspoon. It solves the problem of window-management but you can also use it to create custom keyboard shortcuts and much more.
