macOS has let you make desktops for fifteen years and never let you name one. DeskSay names them, then gets you there by voice, by typing, or by a single key. About 200 milliseconds, no sliding animation.
14 days, every feature, no card. Then $8.99 once, for up to 3 Macs.
You built four desktops so work would stay in one place and everything else in another. Then macOS numbered them and you went back to swiping past all of them to find the one you wanted.
Use whichever suits the moment. They all land on the same desktop in about the same time.
Press ⌥Space, say “Design”, and you are there. Recognition runs on your Mac. Nothing is uploaded and it works with the network off.
Press ⌘0, type two or three letters, press ↵. Press ⌘0 twice to jump back to where you were.
Give any desktop its own shortcut. Useful for the two or three you live in all day.
Rest the pointer on the camera notch and every desktop appears in a strip. Other displays get a small bar at the top. Click one to switch.
Hold ⇧ while dragging a window and the desktops appear. Move sideways to choose one, let go, and the window comes with you.
Open Mission Control and your names sit on the desktops themselves, which is the fastest way to see the whole layout.
This is what macOS shows you today, with the names added. DeskSay draws them over Mission Control's own row, so the desktop you want is the one you can read.
The rest is there when you want it, and invisible when you do not.
Time per desktop and per app, with idle time kept separate. Export it as CSV when a client asks.
Each desktop can hold a floating note with checklists. Dock it to the side of the screen when you want it out of sight.
Open the apps and folders a desktop needs when you arrive, and tidy up when you leave. Or run a group on demand.
Switching skips the macOS slide animation, so a desktop change takes about 200 milliseconds instead of most of a second. Speech recognition runs entirely on your Mac using the engine macOS already ships, so your voice never leaves the machine and no account is involved.
Multiple displays each keep their own desktops, and DeskSay switches them independently.
Try everything for two weeks. If it earns its place, buy it once and stop thinking about it.
After the trial, DeskSay keeps every name, note and record. Switching continues at 30 a month until you buy a licence.
Paid once. No subscription.
No. Recognition uses the on-device speech engine built into macOS. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is stored, and DeskSay works with the network switched off.
Yes. Each display keeps its own desktops, and DeskSay names and switches them separately. Say a name and the display your pointer is on changes.
Reading and changing desktops needs access the App Store sandbox does not permit. DeskSay is sold directly and is notarised by Apple, so it opens normally.
Nothing is deleted. Names, notes, automations and time records stay, and you keep 30 switches a month until you buy a licence.
No. Voice is one of five ways to switch. The Quick Switcher, per-desktop shortcuts, the notch strip and window dragging all work without a microphone, and without granting microphone access.
macOS 13 Ventura and later, on Apple silicon and Intel.
