Powerspaces gives each Mac desktop its own Dock
A free, open-source macOS utility that adds per-Space Dock behavior, local app launching, and desktop-specific window switching while leaving Spaces and Mission Control in place.
- For
- Mac users who work across multiple Spaces
- Worth noticing
- It uses macOS Accessibility permissions, avoids SIP changes and screen recording, and is described as a notarized native Swift app.
Field notes
The install path is a Homebrew cask, with a copy control and a short terminal walkthrough. The homepage says the app relies on macOS Accessibility rather than SIP changes, kernel extensions, or screen recording; it also lists a per-monitor Dock, configurable placement and auto-hide, per-app window rules, a CLI, and a Raycast extension. AltTab’s desktop-only window cycling is described as a one-click setup.
