Every screen gets its own spaces.

ScreenSpaces gives every monitor its own workspaces on Windows. You switch spaces on the screen under your cursor and the other screens stay exactly as they are, like multi-monitor desktops on a Mac.

ScreenSpaces Win+Tab overview: windows on top, the Work, Design, Presentation and Music spaces below

Windows switches all your screens together.

Windows virtual desktops switch every monitor at once: move to another desktop for a document and the chat, music and clipboard on your other screens disappear too. ScreenSpaces keeps separate spaces for each monitor, so only the screen you are working on changes.

Quietly, from the system tray.

A Win+Tab of your own

Press Win+Tab (or click the tray icon) and each screen opens its own overview: that screen’s windows with live previews on top, its spaces with their last look below. Click to switch, drag a window onto a space to move it, add a new space with “+”.

Spaces with names and previews

Call your spaces Work, Design or Music. Names show in the overview and the menu, and each space is previewed as you left it.

Apps that know their place

Assign an app to a space and its new windows always open there. Pin a music player or chat so it stays visible in every space.

Shortcuts and mouse buttons

Win+Ctrl+Left/Right, and the mouse side buttons that send it, switch only the screen under your cursor. Win+Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right takes the front window along.

The silent hero

It starts with Windows and lives in the system tray. No pop-ups or notifications; you only notice it while you use it.

Smooth transitions

Spaces slide in like on a Mac, only on the screen you switch.

Your layout is kept

After an update or restarting the app, every window returns to its own space.

Notifications take you there

Click the notification of a window in another space and ScreenSpaces switches to that space.

One-click rescue

Lost a window? “Show all windows” in the tray menu brings them all back.

Private from the start

It never connects to the internet; no account, no telemetry. Previews stay in memory only.

Frequently asked

Is ScreenSpaces free?

Yes. The preview version is free for personal and commercial use.

How is it different from Windows virtual desktops?

Windows virtual desktops switch all monitors together. ScreenSpaces gives each monitor its own spaces, so switching on one screen leaves the others untouched.

Why does Windows show a SmartScreen warning?

The preview build is not code-signed yet, so SmartScreen does not recognise it. Choose “More info” → “Run anyway”. You can compare the SHA-256 value on this page with the downloaded file.

Does it send my screen or data anywhere?

No. ScreenSpaces never connects to the internet. Space previews are kept in memory only and deleted when the app closes.

A window disappeared — what do I do?

Right-click the tray icon and choose “Show all windows”. Quitting or uninstalling ScreenSpaces also brings every window back.

Can it manage windows opened as administrator?

Yes, if you turn on “Also manage administrator windows” in Settings. ScreenSpaces then runs as administrator; Windows asks for confirmation once.

How do I uninstall it?

Settings → Apps → Installed apps → ScreenSpaces → Uninstall.

Every screen minds its own business.
