Moom 4.2 is out today, and it brings as long-desired feature: Saved layouts can now launch the apps used in those layouts; just check the “Launch apps” checkbox on any saved layout. By itself, this feature is mildly interesting, as it won’t help with apps that have multiple windows in a layout—the app will launch, but Moom cannot open the proper number of windows nor restore their contents.| Tales of a Running Bird

Name Mangler 3.9.3 (release notes) is out, and it fixes a crashing issue related to QuickLook for users of macOS 11 and earlier. (Thanks, Nicole G. for telling us about this one!)

Name Mangler 3.9.2 is out (release notes), with some updates and fixes that may be of interest to photographers, along with our all-new in-app help (now available online, too). On the photography front, we added a new metadata field, Exposure Time Denominator, which is just what it says it is. We also added the missing […]| Tales of a Running Bird
Today we released Desktop Curtain 3.2 (release notes) and Time Sink 2.2.4 (release notes), which are minor updates to two of our longstanding apps. You can check out the release notes pages for all the details on each app—the changes are mostly of a housekeeping nature to keep up with changes in macOS, but here are a couple highlights:| Tales of a Running Bird
Usher 2.3 is out, and it’s basically a maintenance update with a whole slew of minor fixes and changes. A couple of the highlights include the ability to locate missing satellites, the addition of width, height, and resolution as columns (and sorting criteria), and a couple fixes for minor macOS Sequoia glitches. As usual, you […]| Tales of a Running Bird
Recently, we’ve been made aware of two issues in Chrome (and probably Chromium and any other Chrome-based browser). The following are both issues in Chrome version 131.0.6778.70, and possibly some slightly earlier releases: Witch can only list Chrome’s tabs if they’re in the foreground; once you switch Chrome to the background, you’ll only see one […]| Tales of a Running Bird
We have always provided new license file download links to customers who have lost their license files. However, due to limitations with our cart provider’s interface, there was no way for a user to ask for a new download link on their own—we had to process every request. And if you live a time zone […]| Tales of a Running Bird
Moom 4.1.3 is out, with a number of minor fixes and a more-informative “Layout doesn’t apply” dialog. Full details, as always, can be found in the release notes. Moom should inform you of the update, unless you disabled update checking. If you did that, select Moom > Check for Updates from the menu. You can […]| Tales of a Running Bird
Although only a minor bump in version number, Moom 4.1.1 contains a good number of improvements, including the biggie: Moom 4 is aware of macOS Sequoia’s snap-related features, and automatically disables them when the corresponding Moom features are active. You can also now drop windows on partially obscured target areas in drop zones, and we […]| Tales of a Running Bird
If you’re a keyboard-oriented Mac user, Moom 4 speaks your language. Every custom action can have its own keyboard shortcut, for starters. And, of course, there’s Keyboard mode, with even more keyboard-centric powers. Keyboard access to all custom actions One of the new keyboard-focused features in Moom 4 is hiding at the bottom of the […]| Tales of a Running Bird
Moom 4.1 is out with some bug fixes, and adds a couple of oft-requested features—as much as something can be oft-requested after only existing for a week! First off, you can now see your keyboard shortcuts in the Settings window; set their visibility using the Show Hot Keys in Sidebar menu item in the View […]| Tales of a Running Bird
Moom 4.0.1 is out, and it addresses three small issues: Those with non-retina displays will no longer see weirdly-sized icons in their palette and Moom’s Settings windows after moving windows around. You can now use Moom’s keyboard mode on Moom’s own settings window without glitches. If you tell Moom to resize and center a window, […]| Tales of a Running Bird
Moom 3.2.27 is out now, with just one change: It works around whatever it was that Apple changed in macOS 14.5 to cause slowdowns when using Moom’s keyboard mode (and potentially some other areas, but keyboard mode was the most noticeable one). Direct users can update in the app or by downloading a new copy […]| Tales of a Running Bird
Note: We managed to work around this slowdown in Moom 3.2.27. Please update now if you haven’t already! After updating, feel free to re-enable the highlight feature; it’ll work fine. With the release of macOS 14.5, we received a number of reports from users that Moom’s keyboard mode had become so slow as to be […]| Tales of a Running Bird
Remember last week, when we posted a very detailed writeup that explained to how create Quick Actions for Name Mangler 3.9 and newer? Well, we have found a much simpler way to get this done, thanks to Apple’s Shortcuts app—and to our user Eric, for spurring us on to find a simpler solution. Here’s how […]| Tales of a Running Bird
Leech 3.2 and Name Mangler 3.9.1 have been released. Both are relatively minor updates, so if you want to skip their release notes pages, here’s what’s new in each one: Leech 3.2 Added new AppleScript commands: number of downloads, number of failed downloads, pause all, queue all, and cancel all. Rewrote help to match latest […]| Tales of a Running Bird
Name Mangler 3.9 is out, for both direct and App Store customers. There are a number of behind-the-scenes changes in this update, as well as some visible ones.
