## What it is
FlashSpace is a fast virtual workspace manager for macOS that replaces native Spaces with instant, animation-free workspace switching. Users define workspaces, assign apps and displays to them, and switch via hotkeys.

## Use cases
- switch between app workspaces instantly on macos without animations
- assign apps to virtual desktops with hotkeys
- manage multiple displays with independent workspaces
- switch focus between windows using keyboard
- auto-hide unrelated apps when switching tasks

## When to choose
- you find macOS Spaces slow due to animations
- you want keyboard-driven workspace and focus management on macOS
- you need per-display independent workspace switching

## When to avoid
- you need a full tiling window manager with automatic layouts
- you run macOS older than 14.0
- you need cross-platform window management
