Features
What retro⊞spaces actually does, today.
Grid & hot corner activation
Moving the mouse to a screen corner (or pressing a shortcut) opens all desktops at once — exactly as many as you really have.
Drag & drop window moves
Drag & drop a window from one desktop to another, exactly where you want it, and switch desktops with a single click.
Desktop names
Every desktop deserves more than just "Desktop" and a number — a name of its own makes it easier to find your way around and work with macOS.
Transitions & mini-grid map
Switching desktops with a shortcut shows a mini-grid, so you always know where you're jumping from and to.
Global keyboard shortcuts
Switch desktops, jump straight to one by number, or take the active window along with you — configurable shortcuts, without ⌘ by default so browser and editor shortcuts stay untouched.
Per-app desktop assignment
Pin an app to a desktop; retro⊞spaces waits for its window on launch and moves it there automatically.
Custom grid size & circulation
Set rows and columns for each display separately (up to macOS's 16-desktop limit), add and remove desktops from Settings, and optionally turn on circulation at the grid's edges.
Auto-updates, multiple languages
Automatic updates and full localization come as standard — everything switchable at runtime without a restart.
