Space Awareness#

Space Awareness shows apps that have windows in the current macOS Space.

It updates as you switch Spaces, so you can see what belongs to the desktop you are currently using.

Permission#

Space Awareness can list visible apps without Accessibility permission. Grant Accessibility to improve window selection and enable window controls such as minimize, restore, and focus.

Left-click action#

Choose what clicking an app does:

  • Minimize / Restore — Toggle the app window state
  • Move Window to Front — Focus the app's window (default)

Display#

You can configure:

  • Icon Spacing
  • Show minimized app overlay — Dim minimized apps so they stand out

Hidden items#

Right-click an item in the widget and choose Hide from This Widget. Open widget settings to show hidden items again.

When to use it#

Use Space Awareness when you rely on multiple macOS Spaces and want a quick view of the apps that belong to the current Space.
