SpatialDock

Switch macOS apps instantly with spatial muscle memory

SpatialDock launched on August 31, 2025 with 12 votes, #1,214 of 8,530 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 1 year on.

What it does

SpatialDock redefines macOS app switching with spatial consistency - every app stays in the same spot for instant muscle memory access via direct keyboard shortcuts.

Spatial Dock is a macOS app switcher with fixed app positions and keyboard shortcuts, so frequent app switches become predictable, fast, and easier to learn.

Fixed positions . Direct key shortcuts . No scanning, no cycling, no surprises. Spatial Dock replaces a changing recent-app list with a stable spatial map. Once that map feels familiar, switching becomes faster because you stop scanning and start acting from memory. Assign your everyday apps to letter keys in primary dock. Hold Right Command ⌘ , press the letter, and jump straight to the app you want. The secondary dock keeps every other running app nearby without crowding your main layout. Spatial dock is an app switcher like macOS Cmd+Tab: all running apps are always available. Dimmed icons are non-running apps. You can choose to only show running apps to have a secondary dock less…from logibeam.com

    Modern macOS versions open folders in seemingly random positions and sizes. This set of scripts restores the behaviour known to classic macOS, where: - folders remember where they were on the screen - folders remember how big they were This enables you to utilise the brain's superb spatial memory for file management.

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  • Kitten TTS is an open-source series of tiny and expressive text-to-speech models for on-device applications. We are excited to launch a preview of our smallest model, which is less than 25 MB. This model has 15M parameters. This release supports English text-to-speech applications in eight voices: four male and four female. The model is quantized to int8 + fp16, and it uses onnx for runtime. The model is designed to run literally anywhere eg. raspberry pi, low-end smartphones, wearables, browsers etc. No GPU required! We're releasing this to give early users a sense of the latency and voices…

  • I was wondering how I can arrange objects along a spherical helix path, and read some articles on it. I ended up learning about parametric equations again, and make this visualization to document what I learned: https://visualrambling.space/moving-objects-in-3d/ feel free to visit and let me know what you think!
