FlashSpace4.18.79

FlashSpace lets you create virtual workspaces, assign applications and displays to them, and switch between those arrangements with a hotkey. When a workspace becomes active, its assigned applications appear while other applications on that display are hidden, and each display can change workspaces independently. It is useful for people who divide work across projects, applications, or multiple monitors and want an alternative to native macOS Spaces without waiting through macOS animations.

A typical configuration places applications in one macOS space per display, assigns them to a workspace, selects a display or dynamic display mode, and gives the workspace a hotkey. The Space Control view previews all workspaces, while Workspace Switcher changes them with Option-Tab; focus detection can activate a workspace when an application receives focus, and the focus manager switches between applications from the keyboard. Cursor management can center the pointer in the active window, and swipe gestures can be assigned to custom trackpad actions.

Floating Apps keeps selected applications visible across workspaces, including the same application in multiple workspaces. Profiles store alternate configurations, and the menu bar can show a configurable icon and text for each workspace. Settings are available through a graphical interface or configuration file in JSON, YAML, or TOML, with additional control through a command-line interface and a Raycast extension created by krmbzds.

FlashSpace 4.18.79 is freeware for macOS 14 Sonoma or later and supports Intel and Apple Silicon Macs. The “Displays have separate Spaces” option must be enabled in macOS Desktop & Dock settings, and it belongs to the Productivity category.
