Spaceman is a native macOS menu bar app that displays your Spaces / Virtual Desktops, showing which space is active across one or more displays. It supports four icon styles, custom space naming, keyboard-shortcut refresh, and automatic updates via Sparkle.

Use cases

  • see which macOS Space I'm currently on from the menu bar
  • view virtual desktops across multiple displays
  • rename my macOS Spaces for better organization
  • show active and fullscreen app spaces in the menu bar
  • quickly glance at my desktop layout on macOS Sequoia

When to choose

  • you use macOS Spaces heavily and want at-a-glance awareness of your current space
  • you want a lightweight, native, open-source menu bar utility
  • you want to name and visually distinguish your virtual desktops
  • you work across multiple displays and need per-display space indicators

When to avoid

  • you're on macOS earlier than 15 Sequoia
  • you need window management features beyond viewing Spaces
  • you want a Windows or Linux virtual desktop indicator
  • you need programmatic APIs to control or switch Spaces
