MacGrid
Puts your Mac Spaces on a 2D grid you swipe around
The verdict
macOS keeps your desktops and full-screen apps in one long row, and MacGrid rearranges them into a 2D grid you move through by swiping up, down, left or right on a trackpad, or with keyboard shortcuts. A live map shows every Space at once and lets you drag tiles into place. It runs with System Integrity Protection left on, which makes it a modern stand-in for the Intel-only TotalSpaces2, though it skips that app's app assignments and hot corners.
Get it if
You keep lots of desktops and full-screen apps open and get lost swiping through one long row.
Skip it if
You have an Intel Mac, or you use 1 or 2 desktops that Mission Control already handles fine.
