Mac MenuBar App to show current desktop/space

1 pointsjasonwen7y ago3 comments

I searched and at some point even tried to create my own Mac App with my limited Swift skills. I failed.

Am I the only one that wants a simple title in the menu bar that is relative to the current active desktop space? Persistent would be nice but I can live with renaming it after a restart.

My use case is that I work in different environments and want each environment have a simple handle for me to recognise each environment.

I use stickies now but after a restart they end up all in one desktop. Anyone have any suggestions how they manage multiple desktop spaces in Mac?

I use TotalSpaces. It doesn't allow naming desktops, but it does show an active desktop number in the menu bar. And offers a few other handy features.

As a simple alternative if you have a trackpad, the mission control gesture is an easy way to see where you are and then select a new desktop if desired.

Why don’t you add a wallpaper with the name on it for each space?
