Why Project-Based Shortcuts Beat Workspace Apps

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
