So, is BinaryAge still developing it, and maybe without system's tweak ?

I bought an M1 MacBook Pro and still cannot get used to working with it without TotalSpaces. According to Binary Age, the developers, "The support in Big Sur is imperfect, and we are not able to support Apple Silicon macs at all. "So we have to admit that it’s the end of the road for TotalFinder and TotalSpaces2. We will not work on making TotalFinder or TotalSpaces2 work with the next version of macOS, and they will not be ported to Apple Silicon macs." That's the bad news. The good news is, "For a while now we have been working on a new version of TotalSpaces, TotalSpaces3. This version will work without modifying the system, and works with SIP enabled. It is a significant challenge to achieve an equivalent experience without the level of access that code injection provided us, but we believe it will be more than usable. "It is intended for Apple Silicon macs only (at this time), and is currently in private alpha testing."

Awesome, I love it as it! It really easy to see what is on individual desktops, and also makes it easier to move windows between desktops. Unfortunately broken under Big Sur. I will happily pay for an upgraded version!

Apple SIP is a valuable system protection measure. TotalSpaces requires it be disabled for installation and not be re-enabled. This is a major problem and for me at least means that TotalSpaces is unusable.

2.7.9 just destroyed everything that was saved. I can't switch spaces, I can't set apps except for all spaces, I can only use 16x16 setting. every preference is gone. Time Machine does not work for this.

Hooray! I upgraded to Mojave and had some issues with this. Like others, this is an indispensable app; it's become part of the way I use my Mac. Oddly, the in-app updater takes it only to v2.75. How is this different?

Updating TotalFinder and re-enabling SIP has disabled TotalSpaces2. I had to disable SIP again to get it to work. Will there be an update to TotalSpaces2 that allows re-enabling of SIP?

Note that this app (like TotalFinder) has been discounted 50% (to $9) due to the fact that it will not work in El Capitan (though there is a workaround: turn off the new "System Integrity Protection"). More info at http://blog.binaryage.com/el-capitan-update/

While I understand that developers need to eat too, the idea of almost paying $20 for an app that mimics the Spaces function from an earlier version of the Mac OS (I am currently running Yosemite) is nuts. I understand that some users may have been really enamored of that earlier functionality, but considering that that was a fifth or a sixth the cost of the entire OS (before Apple began giving it away) it strikes me as too expensive.

WARNING: Apples recent security update (2015-01) for 10.8 *breaks* TotalSpaces 1.2.11 which still worked prior to this update. Now it's gone and I'm stuck without a solution.

The GRID is not present in Yosemite.Instead it returns you to a window that signifies your start page. I wrote to the Developer and so far no answer.

I've used this for about a week now and it would already be painful not to have it. I'm a pretty heavy spaces user, and being able to switch desktops instantly with no transitions has taken a ton of friction out of my workflow. The grid overview makes it much easier to see what's on each desktop. If you love virtual desktops, I can't recommend this enough -- especially for Linux users who find the slow transitions frustrating. What really sold me on TS2 is that it works with Mission Control instead of trying to replace it. Makes it much more stable, and even allows you to keep using the regular Mission Control overview (which I do).

The original never worked for me, but (at least for the 15 minutes I've spent with it so far) TS2 is awesome. The Mission Control integration is seamless. With a single row arrangement and all transitions turned off, it makes desktop switching super fast, but I can still swipe up to see the regular Mission Control view (which I still prefer for certain things, like moving all windows that belong to the same app in one drag). Very cool.
