Apparently you can play not-allowed iOS apps on Mac with PlayCover
Spaces Renamer. I’ve tried several other options but I suspect Apple only offers the index number (per display) in their public APIs, when I move spaces between displays the names don’t follow along and become mismatched. Depending on where I am and if I’m using my iPad as an additional display I can have one, two, three or four displays hooked up so spaces change frequently.

"Named" Spaces shortcuts / Spaces indicators
In this context, I really wanted Spaces to be named more characteristically than "Desktop 1", "Desktop 2"... This is not possible without a SIMBL plugin requiring to disable csrutil which is a no-go for me.

Can you manually relabel desktop spaces? (like instead of "Desktop 4" or "Microsoft Word & Safari" like "Math Class" or "Friday")
