CLUSTER BETWEEN-MACOS-MENU · 6 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-08-13
macOS virtual desktop switchers
This cluster consists of macOS menu-bar utilities for managing virtual desktops, focusing on naming, instant or animated switching, and hotkey/gesture controls. The dated pre-index history is too thin to read a shape from, as no entries with dates before the index start exist. Among active projects, noswoosh leads with 54 stars, followed by hostflip (19) and Spacewalk (2).
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 6 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
