Softonic review

Have multiple desktops on your Mac

If you find that one desktop simply isn't enough to handle all of your icons and clutter, then SwitchTop is an ingenious and incredibly simple solution.

It works on the same principle as Spaces but it's even more simple and requires only CMD-clicking on the dock icon to switch between desktops. All you need to do is CMD-click or right-click on the SwitchTop Dock icon. Then select 'New Desktop', give it a name, and you're done! To switch between the desktops, CMD or right-click again on the Dock icon to select which one you'd like to use.

Switching between desktops is instant and there's no notable pressure on your memory or CPU. It's a little concerning that there are no preferences or options, although this doesn't take away from the performance of SwitchTop.

If you're worried about where all of your files and folders are being stored on the new desktop, they're in a new folder located in "~/Documents/SwitchTop Desktops" (in other words, your Mac's Documents folder). All of your files are saved inside the 'SwitchTop Desktops' folder and can be accessed at any time if you want.

SwitchTop is an ideal multiple desktop solution for anyone that feels limited by Spaces or wants something a bit simpler to organize their screen.

Softonic

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
