Scopo vs Workspaces
Workspaces by Apptorium is about setup. You group the apps, files, folders, and links a project needs, and open them all together with a single click. It is a fantastic way to start a work session.
Scopo is about what happens next. Once your project is open and living in its own Space, Scopo helps you stay in it and move between projects, scoping the switcher to where you are. The two are complementary: Workspaces gets the project open, Scopo keeps you focused inside it.

Where Scopo is different
- Helps you navigate and switch between projects once they are open, not just launch them.
- Scopes Cmd+Tab to your current Space so you stay focused mid-session.
- Window-level switching, previews, and a per-Space shelf for in-the-moment work.
