What is FlashSpace?

FlashSpace is a blazingly-fast virtual workspace manager for macOS, designed to enhance and replace native macOS Spaces. No more waiting for macOS animations.

FlashSpace allows to define virtual workspaces and assign apps to them. Each workspace is also assigned to a specific display. When you switch to a workspace, the assigned apps are automatically presented and all other apps from the assigned display are hidden.

The app allows workspaces to be switched independently on each display.

Features

  • Blazingly fast workspace switching
  • Multiple displays support
  • Activate workspace on app focus
  • Move apps between workspaces with a hotkey
  • Floating apps visible across all workspaces
  • Space Control - preview all workspaces and switch between them
  • Focus manager - set hotkeys to switch between apps quickly
  • Cursor manager - auto-center the cursor in the active window
  • Profiles - quickly switch between different configurations
  • Picture-in-Picture support (see: Design Decisions)
  • Configurable Menu Bar icon & text (per workspace)
  • SketchyBar integration

Project Values

  • Performance - The app should be as fast as possible.
  • Simplicity - The app should be easy to use and configure.
  • Reliability - The app should work without glitches and unexpected behavior.
  • Invisible - The app should help, not disturb.
  • UNIX Philosophy - The app should do one thing and do it well - manage workspaces.

If you want to keep the same app in multiple workspaces, you can use the "Floating Apps" feature from the app settings or you can add the app to multiple workspaces from the main app window.
