Conjure... It's a sketchbook. It makes mind maps. You can make notes on it. Save links to important things, from specific emails to websites. It's a file organizer. It's a launcher. It's a photo manipulator. It can even use iChat to help you broadcast and collaborate your thoughts with other people. And it lives right on your desktop, so it's always there when you need it. On top of all that, you can have an unlimited number of desktops, and flip between them like cards in a deck.

Conjure lets you create and navigate between an unlimited number of desktops. You can even switch desktops while you're in another application. This way, you can stay focused on the project at hand, while keeping all of your other projects at your fingertips.
Conjure transforms your stale desktop into a vibrant, powerful springboard, bridging the gaps between your ideas and the software on your Mac. To make this possible, we added almost 50 new capabilities to the desktop. Download it today, and try it out! The demo version only lets you use three desktops, but that's three times more than you have right now!
And now in Conjure 4.1, you can customize Spaces, save multiple Conjure projects on your MobileMe disk, and use over 20 other new features and enhancements.

I realize I should put this on the site, so I'll do that soon. But I let Conjure users put a copy on any of their own computers, and the computers of any immediate family members, with no restrictions. So far, this has not led to rampant piracy, as people are generally good. Especially when they're not being screwed over by insane license restrictions.
So yeah, you can absolutely put a copy on your laptop and desktop, and use the same license for both.

It'll be out very soon. Within a week. The Pro version will cost around $50. A Basic version (not sure about the name) will still cost around $25.
And all of the current users get a free upgrade to Pro.

Conjure's Ninja Bunny beta team is now hovering around 20 people, and this version should be free of any major issues. If you run into anything, please don't hesitate to let me know!

Thanks for writing!
The Spaces integration is not where I'd like it yet, but I wanted to get this next version out because it contains a few bugs that people might be experiencing, and it includes some ModBook stuff the Modbook users have been waiting on. But yeah, the Spaces integration could use some help.
But in the next big version bump (4.2), I'll address the distinction between projects and desktops. You can have multiple projects, and each one can contain multiple desktops. The simple reason is that some people really like keeping their Conjure database on DropBox, or backing it up via SVN, and they'd asked for something similar to a document architecture, so that this was easier.
If multiple projects are open, you can toggle between them with command+~.
In 4.2 I'll blur that line a bit more, and simplify access to them. More on that later, though.
Checkmark lists will be a 4.2 feature, as will improved Spaces capability.
Thanks!

• Problem with xGestures
After loading Conjure, I cannot see my xGestures's mouse path in the front window while I invoke gesture feature. But xGestures still works fine in the background. Is there any way to fix it?
• Please let Cmd-i OPEN and CLOSE the inspector window instead of Cmd-w to close it.

I just downloaded xGesture. Interesting app. Mouse gestures were a concept I included in the early days of Conjure, and one I still might bring back. (Back in the early days, you clicked and swizzled objects around to make a cluster). This is an interesting app, and one I'll play with in more detail soon. However, it appears to be working fine here. Conjure doesn't do anything too outlandish or hackish to accomplish what it does, and from looking at xGestures in Shark, it's not doing anything too bad either. So I'm not sure how the problem you're seeing is happening. Of note, I'm using a MacBook Pro in this case, and I had problems with xGestures initially catching my cursor movements. Conjure was not running at the time. But it's possible it's some Snow Leopard weirdness going on there. At any rate, if you can provide me with more info though, I'd be happy to track it down.
Regarding the Command+i to open and close the info panel, that's a good idea, and I've added it to the current beta. Once the last of the known bugs is fixed, and the beta team returns no new bugs, I'll post another update.
Thanks!

Thanks for reminding. I tried re-enable xGesture again after I restart my OS X 10.6.1. The gesture path back again and Conjure works fine together.
There is another situation I met yesterday. I enabled the Screen Corners and Spaces features on my MBP 2.53Hz early-2008. If I open two Conjure projects at the same time. While I switch spaces via Screen Corners, Conjure's switching Desktop shortcut, Cmd-Number, doesn't work. I have to press Cmd-0 to bring desktop overview first. I notice there are some users experienced this problem from your Forum. Hope this info helps. Thanks for developing Conjure.
That particular bug (the desktop shortcuts disappear) was fixed last night, and our beta testers are banging away on it right now. As soon as I hear back as to the status of the bugs in that one, I'll release an update.
FWIW, I believe in 4.1.1 that can also be circumvented by either forcing it to save (command+s), or by switching to a different desktop.
Thanks!

But it doesn't work for me. While I am holding the Shift key, and rotating the image w/ two fingers on Conjure Desktop. Only the image bound spins quickly. It doesn't rotate at all.
This feature didn't work to my satisfaction, so I removed it. It'll be back in the next update as well. In Conjure 3, there was a bug in CoreAnimation that would throw off the boundaries for the object when it was rotated, so there was no way to click on it to 'unrotate' it.
For v4.0, I had the old code in there for rotation, but that slowed down everything else, because it was horribly inefficient.
For 4.1, I removed the rotation code, when I added aspect ratio scaling, because the two conflicted, and I wasn't sure which my users wanted.
I'm looking into exactly what behavior would be expected in this case, and I think iWeb does a good job of how I would expect it to work, so I'll probably be adding that to the beta tonight as well. If it checks out, the next update will have it.

It is easy to see even Apple adopting what Conjure is now doing as the desktop (yes, I know Conjure is not the desktop, but emulates it) has never demonstrated as much potential as it does with Conjure. Please keep up the good work!I

This version brings a lot of new features to the table, and fixes a ton of things our users had run into, from actual bugs, to extremely specific tweaks.
But the highlights in this one are the support for customizing multiple Spaces (which to my knowledge has never been done to this extent), support for MobileMe and thumb drives, and the Organizer and Knife tools.
Conjure's features are largely community driven. If you send in a feature request, there's a good chance it will at least be seriously considered. So don't hesitate to ask!
For example, the Organizer came out of a discussion on the ConjureBunny forums. As far as I know, this is the first time this type of tool has been created. And now that I'm using it, I can't imagine how I prototyped anything without it!

I realize my prior message about pricing might be confusing, so here's how it works...
1) If you want to use the full version (which has unlimited desktops), but you only want the current version that is shipping, that's called a one-shot license. That's $5. No updates, no upgrades.
2) If you want to buy the full version, and you want updates to all of the 4.x series at no additional charge, that's the normal price, $25.
3) If you're a teacher, email me. I have a special rate for teachers.
If you have any questions or suggestions, don't hesitate to get in touch.
Thanks!

The photo program is the friendliest and easiest to use I have found. Just drag and drop, and resize in the easiest manner possible. The original remains wherever it was, but the Conjured photo can be modified however needed.
In my sculpture business I maintain a library of ideas and pictures of sculptures I have seen or photographed. Again the tiniest photo can be resized to full size or larger. Amazing simplicity.
I have been using an older version of Conjure. The Conjure 3 program seems even better.
