I'm using macOS for more than 14 years now, in a single laptop screen setup with lots of windows open, and I'm using macOS spaces everyday to organize my windows. Switching between spaces is easy: I hit CTRL+arrow left/right, it takes no time. What takes time however, is this macOS-native transition animation that takes a bit less than 1 second, for every single space switch. I've checked everywhere in macOS settings, asked friends with the same problem, and there's just no setting to disable this effect (even with Reduced Motion ON in Accessibility settings). This UX choice from Apple alone costs me days of my time every year, as I'm working non-stop on my SaaS business for 10h a day 5-6 days a week (Crisp for those who know about it!). I calculated that with my daily use of macOS spaces, in 6 months I'd perform 100,000 switches, which costs me the same in seconds waiting for the transition to complete. This represents almost 28 hours waiting. In 1 year, I'd have lost 2.4 days just... waiting! The Hack Fortunately, some other open-source projects discovered a hack not so long ago, which allows disabling the transition when switching spaces: it involves sending to the system a "fake" trackpad left/right swipe gesture that's faster than what's expected (faster than what a human can input via the Macbook's trackpad). Above some threshold, macOS just perform the space switch with absolutely no transition. A friend of mine, Yaël 🛸, made a quick prototype in Objective-C, and it magically worked! The Solution So, I asked my friend if we could make it a proper macOS app together, in a beautiful minimalist package, and he said yes! So, we launched Space Rabbit, a tiny 2MB fully native macOS app, that allows you to optimize macOS spaces for productivity! Space Rabbit is a full rewrite of the initial prototype in modern Swift, with a tray menu bar to configure the app, and a settings window, in a macOS app packaging. Space Rabbit can be downloaded right here: We just released V2 of the app last week, fixing a ton of little bugs, especially for dual screen setups. It's actively maintained to this day as it's my daily driver. The app is open-source: and will always be free, as it's helping improve our productivity in our daily Web Dev tasks for our main businesses. We'll be happy to implement more features from user requests, if you find this app useful and use it daily!

THIS GUY BUILT A SCREEN RECORDER THAT MAKES YOUR DEMOS LOOK LIKE AN APPLE COMMERCIAL every founder right now has the same problem. you build something cool but your demo video looks HORRIBLE (like a janky screen recording from 2014) this tool records your screen and automatically makes it look cinematic here's what it does: > records both screen and screenshots in one app (most tools only do one) > multi-window support where each window is a separate layer you can rearrange after recording > 3D scenes, virtual backgrounds, and a simulated camera lens for cinematic shots > smooth or instant zooms, transitions, custom cursors, and auto-replaced desktop backgrounds > add and mix audio and music directly in the editor > standard 2D polish too if you don't need the 3D stuff it even gives you the option to render your recording inside a 3D macbook mockup so the final output looks like an actual apple keynote presentation if you've ever tried to make a product demo look professional, you probably know the pain. you either spend hours in premiere or after effects doing it manually, or you pay someone to do it, or you just ship an ugly screen recording and hope nobody judges your product by the video now you can just record your screen normally and it handles the polish automatically for anyone shipping a landing page, a product hunt launch, an app store listing, or a pitch deck, the demo video is usually the first thing people see and most of the time it's the weakest part of the whole launch this fixes that without needing any video editing experience
