Every Space
gets a name.
Limen puts your macOS desktops in a ring. Press ⌥space, tap a number, and land where you meant to.
This one is live. Press 1-9 or hover a slice.
Three keystrokes to anywhere.
No Mission Control zoom-out, no trackpad swiping past four desktops you didn't want.
The ring appears, you pick a number, the overlay is gone before you blink.
Identity for every desktop.
macOS gives Spaces numbers. Limen gives them meaning, and shows you what lives where before you jump.
Names, not numbers
Give each Space a name and an emoji. Desktop 4 becomes Design, and you stop guessing.
A trail of where you've been
Your three most recent Spaces are marked on the ring. Backtracking takes one glance.
Your shortcut, your call
Option+Space out of the box. Rebind the global shortcut from Settings to whatever your hands prefer.
Lives in the menu bar
The current Space number sits in your tray, and the menu switches Spaces when you'd rather use the mouse.
Two macOS settings, once.
Limen drives the Spaces macOS already has. It needs permission to press the keys, and it needs the built-in Space shortcuts switched on. Settings walks you through both the first time you launch.
Grant Accessibility
Limen switches Spaces by sending the same keystrokes you would press yourself, which macOS gates behind Accessibility. Limen asks on first launch, and reopens the right pane if you dismiss it.
Enable “Switch to Desktop 1…9”
macOS ships these Mission Control shortcuts turned off. Limen detects which of the nine are live, names the ones that are missing, and opens the Keyboard pane for you.
Requires macOS 12 or later. Signed and notarized, so it opens without a Gatekeeper warning.
Stop counting desktops.
Free and open source under the MIT license. No accounts, no analytics. Limen reaches the network only when you ask it to check for updates.
