I have many applications open and all of them show up in the task bar. However I only use a handful per desktop screen.

I want to find a way to only display applications that are active for that desktop.

For Windows I have been using UltraMon that allows exactly this type of functionality.

I’m surprised no one has created anything similar to that for Mac OS X.

Does anyone know how I can accomplish this?

  • FYI, in your original question you state, “Am I doing something wrong? None of my questions get a single comment.” The reality is this is a valid question but perhaps nobody has any idea how to assist you. If this were a really bad question you would be downvoted and might even have the question closed. So just have to let the question sit and see what happens. – Giacomo1968 Mar 31 '15 at 03:31
  • Thank you, I figured as much. I doubt people will search my question to answer it. Is there a friendly way to bump this post? – sjmartin Apr 04 '15 at 04:41
  • The way you “bump” posts here is to earn enough reputation to [place a “bounty” on a question](http://superuser.com/help/privileges/set-bounties). Bounties start at 50 reputation points and acts as an incentive to get people to help you. Or someone can come along and decide this question needs help and they can “donate” their reputation points so your question gets more attention. – Giacomo1968 Apr 04 '15 at 04:52

    Perfect, I appreciate the help. Looks like i'll have to build up some rep. – sjmartin Apr 04 '15 at 21:07
  • This is a duplicate of [OS X Different Docks For Different Desktops](http://superuser.com/questions/597266/os-x-different-docks-for-different-desktops), where unfortunately the answer is "not possible". Maybe some OSX replacement dock will be the solution, but product recommendations are out of bounds on this forum. – harrymc May 27 '15 at 21:20

I guess the official answer right now is that there is no answer. I was hoping things have changed for OSX over the past few years but basic functionality that's been with Windows since XP doesn't quite exist yet for OSX.
