Space.app provides "virtual workspaces" to help you to organize your use of the desktop. Space.app is provided free of charge for individual and commercial use under the QPL (version 1.0) and may be redistributed according to the terms of that license.

Call to arms:
I have many more feature requests for Space.app than I have time to work on. If you are interested in helping this application to mature, please consider contributing your code to this project.

Known issues:
Switching between workspaces while applications are still in the process of hiding or unhiding may cause those applications to appear in different workspaces than you intended.
