Hyperspaces 1.0 beta 7 is available for download!

I'm pleased to announce that Hyperspaces 1.0 beta 7 is available for download immediately. If you're already running Hyperspaces (or you're using the MacHeist build) you can simply go to 'Help > Check for updates...' to download the latest update.

You can always download the latest build from http://hyperspacesapp.com/Hyperspaces...

New and fixed features

• New: Hyperspaces is fully 64-bit. There is no longer a sub-process to handle hotkeys.


• Fix: Hyperspaces should now correctly save preferences on logout, shutdown and reboot. I am sorry about how long this took to track down and fix.


• Fix: Hyperspaces should no longer draw over the top of applications like Coversutra, DeskShade, GeekTool and other desktop level decorations.


• Fix: The scaling of desktop images should work just the same as the Mac OS X Finder does now.


• Fix: Fixed a number of crashes around the use of colors from the standard Color Palette.


• Fix: The switcher now uses the system highlight color you have set in the Mac OS X "Appearance" preference pane.


• Fix: Many other minor fixes and optimisations.

Known issues

• There is currently no help, and no manual. It's coming.


• The switcher flickers when it's showing and hiding.


• The option "Disable Core Animation for the desktop background" is not entirely finished. Core Animation is still used to render the desktop colors and text.
