the solution i found was to use the command for_window in my i3 config file.
basically this command sends windows with a given title, to given workspace.
for_window [title="^MATRIX$"] move to workspace 9:Dashboard, floating enable, border none, mo>
for_window [title="^CLOCK$"] move to workspace 9:Dashboard, floating enable, border none, mov>
for_window [title="^SPOTIFY$"] move to workspace 9:Dashboard, floating enable, border none, m>
for_window [title="^ASCII$"] move to workspace 9:Dashboard, floating enable, border none, mov>
for_window [title="^TYPESPEED$"] move to workspace 9:Dashboard, floating enable, border none,>
the titles are set in the script.sh when i opened the terminal window and so is the workspace.
