Keymo, Time Sink, and Key Codes updated today

Tuesday, April 24th, 2012

Today we released Keymo 1.1 (it’s first-ever update), Time Sink 1.2.1, and Key Codes 1.2. Here’s a quick look at what’s new in each one.

Keymo
We now support the very-often-requested ability to set custom move distances. Not only can you set custom distances, but Keymo will build a menu of your custom distances, making it easy to reuse them. You can also chain actions together, as you can with Moom. [All Keymo changes]

Time Sink
There are no new features in this Time Sink update; the only changes of note are that Time Sink now ignores floating windows, and we fixed a bug related to application-specific window blacklists. [All Time Sink changes]

Key Codes
Key Codes’ display of key combos that include modifier keys has been improved.

Updates for Keymo and Time Sink can be found via the in-app updater (direct customers), or via the App Store application. Key Codes doesn’t have an in-app updater, so if you downloaded it from us, just download the new version. (App Store customers can update Key Codes via the App Store application.)

Our apps and OS X Lion compatibility

Wednesday, July 20th, 2011

With today’s release of Lion, here’s an update on the status of all our apps in Apple’s latest Mac OS X release. Note that this is based on our testing only, and many of our apps are feature-rich: so if you run into something, please let us know via comments here, a tweet, an email message, or a trouble ticket.

  • Butler: Compatible, though it’s likely we haven’t tested 100% of everything that Butler can do.
  • Desktop Curtain: Compatible, but with some issues if you use Spaces or Mission Control. We’re working to find a solution to those issues.
  • Displaperture: Compatible.
  • Key Codes: Compatible.
  • Keymo: Compatible.
  • Leech: Leech’s browser integration feature only works with Firefox in Lion. We’re investigating getting the other browsers working again, and will post any updates here on our blog.
  • Menu Bar Tint: Compatible.
  • Moom: Compatible, as of latest 2.2 update.
  • Name Mangler: Compatible.
  • Open-With Manager: Not recommended and not tested in Lion.
  • Safari Guardian: Not compatible with Lion. It won’t cause problems if installed, but its features won’t work. (Note: Safari 5.1 in Snow Leopard also breaks Safari Guardian.)
  • Service Scrubber: Not recommended and not tested in Lion.
  • Time Sink: Compatible.
  • Usher: Compatible.
  • Witch: Compatible, as of the 3.7 update.

As noted above, if you find certain features in our apps that don’t work in Lion, please let us know!

Keymo lets you keep your hands on the keyboard

Tuesday, July 19th, 2011

Are you a diehard keyboard user who hates reaching for your mouse (or trackpad or Magic Trackpad or <insert other generic mouse-like device here>)? If so, you may find Keymo an essential addition to your toolkit.

Keymo gives you full control over your mouse via the keyboard. You can build custom actions to move the mouse by a specified number of pixels at a time, move it immediately to a screen edge or corner, move it to another display, move it to the center of the screen, scroll windows with scrollbars, and even click and right-click (with modifier keys optionally passed along).

One of the cooler features is what we call move by division: this sub-divides the screen by half each time you invoke it, which makes it really easy to move across huge swaths of screen real estate with only a few keystrokes. It’s hard to describe, but easy to understand when seen in action:

The best way to learn more about how Keymo works is to download a free trial; that way, you can see all of its features for yourself. After testing Keymo, f you’d like to purchase a copy, it’s only $5 when purchased directly from us, and $4.99 on the App Store.
