Proof of concept for macOS

Tribute to the developers of Exposé & Spaces
Every desktop, laid out in one grid. Grab a window, drop it on another desktop, and get on with your day — the way Spaces used to feel.
All your desktops. One grid.
A hot corner opens an overview of every desktop at once — up to 16 of them, laid out exactly the way you've configured your grid. Click a tile to jump there.
Drag a window anywhere
Pick up a window from the grid and drop it on another desktop, at the exact spot you grabbed it. No Mission Control shuffle, no guessing which "Desktop 4" you meant.
Built for keyboard and mouse alike
Global shortcuts move between desktops or carry the focused window along with you. Hot corners, a menu-bar launcher, and a live mini-grid HUD keep you oriented mid-switch.
Looks the part
Real screenshots of the app — the grid, the mini-grid, the menu, and Settings.
Try it on your Mac
Free, self-signed, and still a proof of concept — built in the open, one release at a time.
