Workspaces on Mac, without Spaces

Wimi gives you nine workspaces: separate sets of windows you switch between with one shortcut. They’re Wimi’s own, so there are no Spaces settings to change and moving a window to another workspace always works.

Pro

Hyper is ⌃⌥⌘ pressed together, or Caps Lock with the Hyper key on.

How it works

  • Workspaces 1–9 always exist; an empty one is just a workspace without windows. New windows open in the current one.
  • Switching slides the current windows out one side while the other workspace slides in. Pressing several numbers quickly goes straight to the last one.
  • Each workspace keeps its own layout on each display, and remembers which window had focus.
  • One workspace number applies to all displays: Hyper 3 shows workspace 3 everywhere.
  • Dialogs and apps you’ve set to float, such as System Settings, stay on every workspace.

Seeing what’s where

  • An optional workspace bar at the top or bottom of each display shows the numbers and the current workspace’s windows. Drag a window onto a number to move it there.
  • The workspace number can also sit in the menu bar.
  • Search lists windows in every workspace; choosing one switches to its workspace. The window switcher can show all workspaces too.

Why not macOS Spaces

On current macOS, other apps can’t reliably move windows between Spaces, and Spaces depend on Mission Control settings. Wimi hides a workspace’s windows by moving them to a 1-point sliver in a corner of the display, the same way it parks windows in a layout. That needs no extra permissions and no changes to System Integrity Protection.

  • Hidden windows show up small in a corner in Mission Control; turning on “Group windows by application” in Desktop & Dock settings helps. Details.
  • Quitting Wimi puts every hidden window back on screen. When Wimi starts again, it restores your workspaces.

AeroSpace takes a similar approach; see Wimi vs AeroSpace.
