• Customization: Personalize each workspace with unique icons, colors, wallpapers, and shortcuts.
• Dynamic Application Folder: Automatically updates the Applications folder to match the selected workspace's specified settings.
• Workspace Archives: Safely archive workspaces for future use or restoration.
• Shell Environment Customization: Define different shell aliases and functions for each workspace.
• Secure Workspaces: Create protected workspaces accessible by password or SSH key, with encrypted files for added security.
