Desktop Manager is my own pet project to implement a (hopefully) easy to
use virtual desktop manager for OS X. I've put it up here in the hope that
it will be useful to others. Simply run the app and a pager
should appear in the status bar and on the desktop.

Features

  • Have any number of named virtual 'screens' (up to available memory)
    to arrange your programs on. Have one screen to keep your mail
    programs, one for web-browsing, one for work. The possibilities
    are almost endless.
  • Exciting switch transitions to make all
    your Windows/Linux using friends green with envy.
  • Control switching via fully configurable 'hotkeys'.
  • Get an instant overview of your desktops via a status-bar based
    'pager'.
  • Move windows around in desktops via a desktop-based 'pager'.
  • Desktop pager compatible with CodeTek VirtualDesktop skins.
  • Move windows between desktops easily via status-bar menu or
    Exposé-like 'Operations Menu'.
  • Sticky window support - have one window on all desktops.
  • Active edge support - switch desktop when the mouse moves
    past the edge of the screen.
  • Desktop notification bezel - pops up on desktop switch to help
    you orient yourself.
  • Current desktop name available on desktop background to help
    you keep track.
  • Small, unobtrusive app - can be made to be totally invisible if
    you want. Designed to get out of your way and act like a part of the
    OS.
