WindowRanger 1.0.3

WindowRanger 1.0.3

WindowRanger 1.0.3 is an urgent performance hotfix for the 1.0.2 release.

Fixed

• Fixed a macOS 27 menu bar appearance-refresh loop that could make WindowRanger continuously use
  roughly one CPU core while otherwise idle.
• Preserved refreshes for genuine Light, Dark, and increased-contrast appearance changes while
  ignoring equivalent repeated appearance notifications.

Requirements

• macOS 14 or later.
• Accessibility permission for window discovery and management.
• Screen Recording permission only when optional captured workspace previews are enabled.

Installation

Download WindowRanger-1.0.3.dmg from this release's Assets section, open it, and drag
WindowRanger onto the Applications shortcut. The notarized ZIP and both checksum files are included
as fallbacks and for verification.

Homebrew users can install or upgrade the public Stable Cask with:

brew install --cask appranger/tap/windowranger
brew upgrade --cask appranger/tap/windowranger

Existing Stable users can also install this update through WindowRanger's signed in-app updater once
the 1.0.3 feed is published.

Known limitations

• WindowRanger manages virtual workspaces inside the current macOS desktop; it does not replace
  native macOS Spaces.
• Captured workspace previews remain optional and off by default.
• Some applications expose ambiguous, slow, or read-only Accessibility windows that WindowRanger
  conservatively ignores.
