Is there a way to set unique applications in the Dock per Desktop in Mac OS X?

4

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. – JakeGould – 2015-03-31T03:31:46.420

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 – 2015-04-04T04:41:21.840

The way you “bump” posts here is to earn enough reputation to place a “bounty” on a question. 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.

1Perfect, I appreciate the help. Looks like i'll have to build up some rep. – sjmartin – 2015-04-04T21:07:29.127

This is a duplicate of 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.

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.
