Mac productivity is buzzing around new flavors of Mission Control and window management. People are sharing tweaks and cross-platform Docking ideas that promise calmer Spaces and sharper focus.
Mission Control customization and layout apps A thread centers on replacing or customizing Mission Control. Fans point to Spencer for saved layouts, SpatialDock for quick access, and MacScope in the works to improve Mission Control and Command+Tab. It even mentions Desktop Spaces organized by task in screenshots. [1]
DockFlow and managing many Spaces Another thread suggests DockFlow to manage many spaces. It helps you close unused fullscreen spaces and launch the ones you need, cutting chaos. [2]
Dock 2.0 crosses platforms Dock 2.0 is described as a complete ASO management suite across macOS and iOS and visionOS. It covers ASO content, screenshots, reviews, competitor analysis, and rankings, with AI-powered insights guiding optimization. [3]
Native macOS focus apps like Focast Focast is pitched as a native macOS focus app, not a port from iPhone. The post invites testers via TestFlight and notes it’s a Mac-native menu-bar timer. [4]
Closing thought: These threads signal a clear push toward Mac-native UX, with more tools and tweaks likely to surface next.
