A native macOS app that switches between Spaces instantly by skipping the built-in animation, using a synthetic high-velocity trackpad gesture. It requires no SIP disabling and includes a small CLI for scripting.
Use cases
- switch macOS spaces without animation
- instant workspace switching on high refresh rate monitors
- disable space switching animation on macOS
- switch desktops via command line
- use native macOS spaces without waiting for transitions
When to choose
- you use macOS Spaces and find the switching animation slow or disruptive
- you want a free native solution that doesn't require disabling SIP
- you want to trigger space switches from scripts via the bundled CLI
When to avoid
- you are on Linux or Windows
- you need a full window manager with tiling or layout features
- you rely on third-party space managers like yabai or Amethyst
