SpaceSwitcher

Control Every Space.

Overview

Per-space control over your applications and Dock.

Define per-space app rules and custom Dock configurations. Built on DesktopRenamer's SpaceAPI, it reacts to space changes instantly.

Features

Automate every workspace transition.

01 / Rules

App Rules Per Space

Define which apps show, hide, or come to front when you switch spaces. Six action types — from simple show/hide to hotkey simulation.

02 / Docks

Custom Docks Per Space

Assign different Dock configurations to different spaces. Add apps, spacers, and reorder items freely.

6 Action Types

Show, Hide, Minimize, Bring to Front, App Shortcut, and Global Shortcut — chain them into workflows for each space group.

Hotkey Simulation

Trigger app-specific or global keyboard shortcuts when switching spaces — sync in-app workspaces with your macOS spaces automatically.
