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.

Open window icons in menubar
I'm running macOS 12 and I'm looking for something very specifiek. What I'm looking for is a way to get the current open applications of a space/desktop to show up in my menu bar. Why? I use Amethyst (A tiling window manager for macOS) in my daily flow. Sometimes I have 3 apps running on a single space in 'fullscreen' mode meaning that they cover each other. This results in a lot of switching and searching for certain open apps. In other tiling window managers this is handled by an indicator in the menu (showing the open windows of that space). I currently use WhichSpace to show my space ID and Context as a workaround for this issue to show te open apps on a space. For example, on this space I have a finder windows and a firefox window running:
