Hello Product Hunters!
I’m a visual thinker, and I’ve always used my Mac desktop to keep my current files at my fingertips — laid out in a 2D pattern that my brain naturally remembers.
But as I started juggling more projects, my desktop inevitably became cluttered and overwhelming. I kept thinking: what if I could simply switch the desktop contents based on the project/task I’m working on?
Back in 2018, I built a rough command-line tool to do just that. And I ended up using it almost daily! I placed a git repo on my website and got really positive feedback from a small set of early users. ⏩ This year, after a career change, I finally made time to rebuild the app entirely from the ground up, and bring it to life as InfiniDesk, a safe and robust macOS menubar app ✨.
Unlike Mission Control, Stage Manager or third-party tools that manage windows, InfiniDesk focuses instead on the files and folders 📄📁 on your desktop. It lets you create project-specific desktops and toggle between them in two clicks 🖥️ ➡️ 🖥️ ➡️ 🖥️.

If you're a "desktop person" like me, I hope InfiniDesk helps you feel more focused and in control of your workspace.
I’d love to take this opportunity on PH to hear any feedback, suggestions, or questions.

InfiniDesk solves the "10 messy desktops" problem:
🚀 Instantly switch between project worlds
🗂️ Each space gets its own files & shortcuts
🤫 Fully private (no cloud BS)
Question for you:
1. How many tabs/desktops are you drowning in RIGHT NOW? (I’m at 14… send help)
2. What’s your current hack for staying focused? (Mine: 37 browser tabs named "READ LATER")
3. Would you pay to never lose a file in desktop chaos again?

I have used this app (or the more crude-prototype-form of this app) since 2020 and I love how as a student I can keep some sort of distinction between subjects/ classes as well work and personal life. This app makes it even easier now to switch things around which is absolutely amazing for me. Great work Ben!
This is a VERY useful tool. I normally use multiple desktops, keeps loads of folders and files openned and the whole thing gets really messy and confusing. InfiniDesk bring order to the chaos and helps me focus straight away on the material I need to see in a context dependent manner. Great stuff!
Switching between project desktops without all my files getting mixed up? That’s legit genius, ngl. Been waiting for something like this—nice one makers!
@joey_zhu_seopage_ai Cheers, Joey. Yes, it's a surprisingly overlooked feature! Mission Control etc handles windows, but on Mac there was not a corresponding solution for desktop files (until now).
Great product guys! Congrats on launch :)
@sundararvind1244 Thanks, Sundar! p.s. Music was a great force helping me build it, these last 5 months. Congrats to you, too.
When switching projects, I found myself jumping into a focused workspace instantly with InfiniDesk — it's a game-changer for deep work.
