WindowRanger 1.0.4

WindowRanger 1.0.4

WindowRanger 1.0.4 is a responsiveness hotfix for the Stable release.

Fixed

• Prevented a slow or hung application's Accessibility endpoint from making workspace switching
  appear locked up for many seconds.
• Temporarily defers only the unavailable application while preserving its workspace and layout
  membership, allowing healthy applications to remain responsive and recovering automatically once
  the application answers again.

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-1.0.4.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 1.0.4 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 or read-only Accessibility windows that WindowRanger
  conservatively ignores.
