ShiftPlus - Your whole Mac workspace, one hotkey away

by
The part I'm proudest of: Spaces. macOS has no public API to move windows across virtual desktops, and I worked hard to make it run smoothly, no disabling SIP, no system tweaks, it just works out of the box, even on macOS 15. iCloud sync keeps your workspaces in step across Macs, while device-specific window geometry stays local. New in 2.0: a Raycast extension, switch workspaces, open quick links, or jump to your last context, all from the launcher. Free for everyone.

Hey PH. I'm the solo dev behind ShiftPlus. This one started as a personal annoyance. Every time I moved from one client project to another I'd run the same little ritual. Open the apps, log into the right Chrome profile, set AWS_PROFILE, drag my windows back into place, reopen the same handful of tabs. Two or three minutes, and I did it more times a day than I'd like to admit. ShiftPlus collapses all of that into one hotkey. Press Cmd-; and the whole context comes back: browser profile, apps, window layout, virtual Spaces, terminal env vars, the links you always reopen. The bit I'm proudest of is Spaces support. Apple gives you no public API for moving a window onto another virtual desktop, and the private calls people used to lean on broke on recent macOS. Getting it to feel smooth took a while, but it asks nothing of you. No disabling SIP, no system tweaks. You install it and it works, even on macOS 15. Two new things in 2.0: • A Raycast extension, free for everyone. Switch workspaces, open quick links, or jump back to your last context without leaving the launcher. • iCloud sync. Your workspaces stay consistent across Macs, while window positions stay local to each machine, because a 4K iMac and a 1080p laptop have no business sharing pixel coordinates. Native, unsandboxed, lifetime license, 14-day trial, no subscription. Around 1000+ people use it so far. If you try it, tell me where it trips you up. That's the feedback I actually act on. Demo:
