What it does
CurrentKey organizes every Space with a custom name, icon, hotkey, banner, and more — then gives you clean, private insights about how your day actually went. Give each desktop a name, icon, and vibe so switching contexts feels deliberate. See your most-used apps, focus blocks, and activity highlights at a glance. Drowning in projects? We get that. CurrentKey blends elegant workspace control with deep insights. Its Rooms functionality is truly unique. Make your desktops into Rooms and quickly jump between them via the menubar or hotkeys. Choose from hundreds of icons, use emoji, or bring your own to make every Room unmistakable. Explore daily summaries, weekly comparisons, and app-by-app…from currentkey.com
