Hey HN, As a Software Engineer, I frequently copy and paste content. The fact that macOS clipboard buffer can keep only one item is very frustrating. It’s very annoying to copy → switch app → paste → switch app → copy → switch app → paste, and so on. Losing items I copied hours ago and having to find and copy them again is a waste of time. I tried many third-party clipboard managers like Alfred, Raycast, Paste, Maccy, etc. While great, they didn't fully meet my needs. As a developer, my requirements are: 1.

InfiniDesk▲90InfiniDesk brings multiple virtual desktops to your Mac. Instead of having a single cluttered desktop, make many desktops each with their own layout of file/folder icons, wallpaper and widget visibility. Have a desktop for Work, one for interesting Hacker News links, a fully empty desktop etc. Version 3 of the app (just released) now supports hotkeys to switch desktops in a blink, and also onscreen HUD notifications. Inspired by the Unix Common Desktop Environment of the 1990s, InfiniDesk is the only app that brings multiple desktops (workspaces/identities) to your Mac.

Hello HN, This is a macOS app that allows you to see all your open windows on each monitor and select the one you want. It also lets you view the current state of things like email or chat windows, terminal processes, and more. You can use "cmd" and the key above the tab key for alt-tab like behaviour. You can also toggle the UI by resting a finger on the corner of your trackpad. I also wrote some dev details here: https://madebyenzo.com/#robata
