Or animated, your way.

Prefer a little motion? Pick one that isn't the slide. Every effect holds a 100 Hz frame, and the Settings preview plays the one you choose.

What happens in a tenth of a second.

Spacewalk lets the Dock do the switching, so macOS stays consistent. It only replaces what you see while it happens.

Freeze

12–18 ms

Switch

A Dock swipe with nothing left to animate commits the switch.

30–140 ms

Capture

The first new frame becomes the destination.

10–25 ms

Animate

Core Animation plays your transition, then the overlay hides.

Made for people who live in Spaces.

Shortcuts

⌃1 to ⌃9, next, previous, back and forth, or take over ⌃← and ⌃→. Bind a key to an app to jump to its Space.

Follow your fingers

Three-finger swipes play your transition and track the gesture. A haptic tick marks the point where lifting will switch.

Overview

Every Space as a live picture with its name and app icons. Arrows, digits, typing or a click take you there.

Names and a menu bar

Name your Spaces. The menu bar shows where you are, and an optional bar lists every Space with its apps.

A config file

Every setting lives in ~/.config/spacewalk/config.toml, reloaded when you save it.

A command line

spacewalk next, spacewalk effect cube, spacewalk overview. Script anything.
