Raskin offers zoomable alternative to Mac desktop

updated 02:55 pm EDT, Wed June 2, 2010

Computer contents shown in single interface


Raskin has introduced its self-titled interface utility that provides an alternative to standard Mac desktops. The visual user interface presents a variety of content on a single surface, while allowing users to view, arrange and open documents using zoom and pan navigation.

The utility takes advantage of pinch-to-zoom functionality to replicate the experience of an iPhone or iPad, but on a the Mac desktop. Users can arrange content to avoid using Finder or opening multiple files and folders.

Raskin is now available directly from the company for $20 until June 14, when the price will revert to $50.
