The Mac Desktop Clutter Problem
The Mac desktop is great for quickly accessing the files you’re actively working on. Items on the desktop are easy to open, easy to drag-and-drop into applications, and are all laid out in 2D space which the brain somehow remembers. The Mac desktop is like a real physical workspace, especially for visual users.
The classic problem of the Mac desktop, however, is the eventual clutter. When too many documents get scattered around the desktop, it ceases to be a useful visual workspace. Different projects and tasks get mixed together in an overwhelming mess, making it difficult to organize your Mac desktop by project or find anything quickly. If you've ever searched for a Mac desktop declutter app or wondered how to fix a messy Mac desktop, you've experienced this problem firsthand.
The InfiniDesk Solution: Project-Specific Desktops on Mac
InfiniDesk lets you maintain all the advantages of the Mac desktop while avoiding the clutter!
InfiniDesk gives you multiple project-specific desktops on Mac, each with its own layout of files, folders, wallpaper and widgets. You can easily switch between different "Desktop Views" to focus on a project, or move to a clean desktop for presentations and video calls without revealing all details of your digital life. It's also an easy way to hide desktop files for Zoom calls or create a clean desktop for presentations on your Mac.
Switch the Contents of Your Mac Desktop in Two Ways
InfiniDesk can be used in two different modes:
- In Classic Mode, the Desktop View is changed from the Mac menu bar menu, or via hotkeys. The Desktop View remains the same across all Spaces in Mission Control.
- In Follow Spaces Mode (available from macOS 14 Sonoma), the Desktop View changes automatically when you switch Spaces in Mission Control. Each Space can be set up to display a different Desktop View, giving you different desktop files per Space on Mac. This transforms Apple's Spaces into true virtual desktops, where every Space can display both unique application windows and unique desktop icons. If you've been looking for separate desktop icons for each Space in Mission Control, this is exactly what InfiniDesk provides (and a key feature that Apple never implemented).
InfiniDesk ensures that your Mac desktop is a tidy and useful visual workspace, no matter how many projects or tasks you have on the go.
Whether you want to create multiple workspaces on your Mac for different projects, maintain a separate desktop environment for work and personal use, or simply keep desktop clutter under control, InfiniDesk makes it all possible.
