Tools like Station, Arc Spaces, and Mosaic are great for organizing apps.
But they can be slow, rigid, or overkill.
Why Shortcuts Win:
- Instant: One key → full project context
- Customizable: Works with your stack, not against it
- Lightweight: No memory-heavy interface overhead
- Cross-platform: Works with browser, native, terminal tools
Use Case: Building a Design Project Shortcut Map
- Control + Tab, D → Design folder in Finder
- Control + Tab, F → Figma
- Control + Tab, B → Browser preview
- Control + Tab, N → Notion spec
Final Thought
Workspaces organize. Shortcuts empower. With Assignee, you build project environments at the speed of thought.
