Howdy! If you didn't know there's a maximum number of spaces you can have in macOS, maybe you don't need this product—but I find I lose track by the time I hit 5 or 10 different spaces, a dozen different projects going on....

Mission Control shows "Desktop 1, Desktop 2…", and trying to recognize which one is which based on a window configuration is pretty much luck.

spacetags puts a small colored label on each Space. Switch Spaces and the right label is there; open Mission Control and every Space thumbnail wears its name. It sits on top of the native Spaces system — no tiling window manager, no new way of working. Just actually knowing what you left where and how to get back to it.

It's a one-time $4.99 with a 14-day trial, no card. I'd love to hear how you use Spaces, and what would make this more useful.

It's 16, btw—after 16 spaces you're tapped out, except for full-screen —

how many spaces do you usually run? have you ever hit the limit?

I'm not always at the limit, but when I hit it, it really hurts. I try to prune down to 5-7 spaces at a time when I'm between sprints, because even with breadcrumbs there's only so much I can keep in my head and process in an ongoing manner. But to some degree, the spaces hanging out there, tagged, are my "these are what were important to you yesterday, what are you doing about that today?"

I try to have one per project, one for general chat, and ideally a little room for throwaway searches ... that might become new projects of their own....
