Workspaces

Workspaces help you separate groups of apps—for example work tools vs personal, or client A vs client B—without mixing them in one long list.

Default view vs named workspaces

Only apps belonging to the active workspace appear in the dock and grid (plus the usual navigation icons).

Default View — Apps that are not assigned to a named workspace. This is not a separate object you delete; it is always there.
Named workspaces — You create them with a name. Each has its own list of apps in the dock and on My Apps when that workspace is active.

Creating a workspace

Click the workspace button on the dock (it shows the first letter of the current workspace name, or D for Default). In the modal, type a name and use Create.

In the workspace modal, type a name and press Create. New workspaces appear in the list; click one to switch and close the modal. Press Escape to close the modal without choosing a row.

Deleting a workspace

In the workspace modal, use the × control on a row. weballoon asks for confirmation. Apps that were only in that workspace move back to unassigned behavior (they appear under Default View).

Switching workspace

Open the workspace modal from the dock and select Default View or a workspace.
Use keyboard shortcuts (see Keyboard shortcuts): for example Shift+W cycles workspaces and shows a small switcher while Shift is held.

Limits (Free plan)

You can have up to 2 named workspaces on Free. Creating another shows an error about the plan limit; Pro removes that cap (see Plans & billing).

Tips

Create workspaces before adding apps if you want every new install to land in the right place—additions use whichever workspace is active.
The same URL cannot exist twice in one workspace; pick another workspace or remove the duplicate first.
