Warp for Mac

Make Spaces more useful

Spaces, introduced in Leopard, lets you set up multiple virtual desktops on your Mac so everything stays organized — for example, one desktop for work and another for games. Using Spaces effectively can keep your workflow focused and reduce clutter on a single screen.

Best free pick

If you prefer a free utility that complements Spaces, consider CheatSheet as a handy option. It’s useful for people who rely on Spaces and want a simple, no-cost tool to enhance their setup.

Use the mouse to move between spaces with Warp

Warp is a preference pane that brings mouse-based control to Spaces instead of relying solely on keyboard shortcuts. Drag the Warp control toward an edge of the display to get a live preview of the adjacent desktop; click the preview to jump there. Warp also supports multiple displays, making it quick to switch between desktops across monitors.

How to configure and manage Warp

From Warp’s preferences you can adjust the activation delay, and enable a retro-style wrap-around animation when you move past the last space — an effect inspired by the classic arcade game Asteroids. Installing or removing Warp is as straightforward as any other preference pane on macOS.

Recent fixes and enhancements

• Traditional Chinese translations added (many thanks to Jack M. H. Lin).
• Hot-corner hit areas widened to cut down on accidental triggers.
• Click-to-warp behavior refined so it cooperates better with the activation delay.
