WhichSpace for Mac

Manage multiple macOS desktops with ease

WhichSpace is a lightweight macOS utility that helps you organize and move between virtual desktops. It places an active icon in the menu bar so you can see which spaces are open and jump to the one you need without digging through Mission Control.

Key benefits

• Provides a clear snapshot of all open desktops and environments, making it easier to orient yourself.
• Lets you jump between spaces quickly via a persistent menu-bar control.
• Reduces interruptions by simplifying workspace switching, helping you maintain focus.
• Features a clean, straightforward interface so there’s little learning curve.

How it improves your workflow

By surfacing your spaces in the menu bar, WhichSpace removes extra steps from desktop navigation. Instead of opening Mission Control or arranging windows manually, you can identify and switch to the correct workspace with a couple of clicks. This speeds up transitions between tasks and keeps your desktop organization consistent.

A free alternative to consider

CheatSheet (free) is a useful companion for people who rely on many desktops or keyboard shortcuts. It provides an overview of shortcuts and can complement or replace aspects of WhichSpace depending on how you like to navigate your Mac.
