Built for flow

Tiny tool. Huge gear shift.

macOS Spaces is the most underused productivity feature on your Mac. FocusFu makes it usable.

1–2 second switches

Hop between desktops at the speed of thought. No animation tax, no waiting on the Mission Control overlay.

Live visual previews

Hold the hotkey to see thumbnails of every space. Always know where you’re going before you get there.

Keyboard-first

Bind every space to a chord. ⌥1 jumps to Code, ⌥2 to Design, ⌥3 to Music. Muscle memory in a week.

Per-space focus rules

Auto-hide Slack on the Writing space. Mute notifications on Music. Each desktop has its own personality.

Smart suggestions

FocusFu learns your patterns and quietly suggests the right space when you open an app you usually pair with one.

Privacy-first

Everything runs locally on your Mac. No accounts required for the desktop app. No telemetry, ever.

Made for everyone in flow

Different work. Same calm Mac.

Every craft has its own context. FocusFu gives each one its own desktop.

Engineers
Code on space 1. Browser on space 2. Slack on space 3. Cmd+Tab destroys context — FocusFu protects it.
Designers
Figma gets the whole screen on space 2. Inspiration board on space 4. Inbox lives somewhere I can ignore.
Writers
Writing space mutes notifications, hides Slack, and dims everything that isn’t the cursor.
Researchers
PDFs on space 1. Notes on space 2. Citations on space 3. One hotkey moves my whole brain at once.
PMs
Meetings space pre-opens Zoom + Notes. Planning space loads Linear + the roadmap doc. Context lives in the workspace.
Musicians
Logic on space 1. Reference tracks on space 2. Lyrics on space 3. Switch sets without the studio ever closing.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

  • Mission Control shows you every window at once. FocusFu lets you decide which apps belong on which desktop, gives each one a name and a hotkey, and gets out of the way. Think of it as Mission Control with intentions.

  • Yes — FocusFu is a Universal binary. macOS 12.0 (Monterey) or newer, Apple Silicon or Intel. It uses native macOS APIs so performance is identical on both.

  • No. The desktop app runs entirely locally. There is no account required, no telemetry, no analytics, no phone-home. The only network traffic is when you check for updates — and you can disable that.

  • 30-day refund, no questions asked. Email us once and we’ll process it the same day.

  • Absolutely not. The hotkey-and-previews workflow is the core. Focus rules, smart suggestions, and pattern learning are opt-in — leave them off and FocusFu is just a really fast switcher.

  • Yes. One purchase covers every version we ship, on every macOS we support. No subscriptions, no upgrade fees, no surprises.

Reclaim your Mac.

Three minutes to install. One keystroke to switch. Zero clutter forever.
