macOS 27 – Golden Gate support
1) on macOS 27, it's finally possible to re-enable SIP and remove yabai... at last👍
2) multi-screen support was a tough nut to crack, but hopefully I've got it working properly🎉The basic tests are done, and everything seems to work. Well, more precisely, I've tested everything I could think of, so now I'll wait for feedback. I don't normally use multiple screens myself, so I don't have that much experience with it or as many ideas for what to test 😢

solved by macOS 27+ and new version of retro⊞spaces 0.6.0+

macOS 27 – Golden Gate support
The new retro⊞spaces 0.6.0 now supports macOS 27 Golden Gate! On macOS 27, it no longer requires yabai or partially disabled SIP - just Accessibility and Screen Recording permissions.
Switching desktops, moving windows between desktops (via the grid or keyboard shortcuts), and assigning apps to desktops are all handled natively. Moved windows land exactly where you drop them. Adding and removing desktops also works without yabai, using Mission Control (beta version), which briefly flashes on screen.
Nothing changes on macOS 15 and 26, where yabai and partially disabled SIP are still required.
Setup instructions for all supported macOS versions are available at https://retrospaces.cz/install/

macOS 27 – Golden Gate support
We’re preparing an update to the retrospaces app for the new macOS 27 🎉, so that it works just as well - or ideally even better - than it does on macOS 26.
For example, some of the new APIs allow us to replace parts of Yabai, which is still not up to date, and no new version has been released since May 2026 😢
Please post all questions related to macOS 27 here. Once the app is released (version 0.6.0), I’ll post an update here 👍

feature requests for ⊞
I have two requests:
1) Please report bugs here: https://retrospaces.cz/forum/t/known-bugs/, so they don’t get mixed in with feature requests.
2) I’m preparing a new version 0.5.2, which addresses some of the possible issues with overlapping app menus. These issues seem to happen when RetroSpaces is running while Mission Control is also being used. I’ve also added more information to the audit log to make debugging easier.
Please install this version and try to reproduce the issue. If it happens again, please describe exactly what you were doing and what happened.

To address your feedback: ** **
1) I need to recreate the same setup in my office. I already have everything I need, including a second screen 😄. This bug is relatively low priority for me at the moment, as I need to resolve a few other issues first.
2) Regarding the logic behind the grid and wallpapers, the app retrieves each desktop’s wallpaper using the following logic:
Each desktop’s wallpaper is loaded from the local cache if available. Otherwise, it is read from the system wallpaper store. Plain images are loaded directly from their source file, while system colors, Aerials, and Dynamic Desktops use a screenshot of the visible wallpaper, captured in the background and cached on disk. Until that screenshot is available, a Dynamic Desktop falls back to the first image from its source file. Any other unsupported or unavailable wallpaper falls back to a gradient placeholder, which is never cached.
I'm always curious about what wallpapers users are using whenever I see the gradient on the screenshot that gets used as a last resort. I try to add more techniques to the code for retrieving wallpapers whenever I come across cases like that.

Hi, I’m finaly back from business trips around the world 😄 I’ll dive into the solutions today and see how it goes 👍

Thanks for the logs - they help a lot!
I’m preparing a fix for this bug for version 0.5.1 I have two questions:
1) Are you using an external display with your laptop display mirrored? This seems to be the source of the bug. Unfortunately, I don’t currently have a time for testing this setup on external display 😢
2) What type of wallpapers are you using on your laptop? Grid is trying to get the data needed to display the desktop wallpapers in the grid, but it can’t read the data correctly. Could you share a sample wallpaper or your wallpaper settings?
Thanks a lot for your help!

Great! And share with me ~/.config/retrospaces/retrospaces.log on your domains URL to download (like config for example). Because auditlog (log for developers) have only errors, not tunning data 🙂 Thanks a lot.

feature requests for ⊞
and few questions:
1) how many displays you have?
2) can you change Debug in Settings to Debug (verbose) and reproduce this bug again. Then send me ~/.config/retrospaces/retrospaces.log to analyze
3) macOS version is latest?
4) yabai is working on the latest version also?

feature requests for ⊞
Hmm, this is weird behavior 👎 Did it start with version 0.5.0, or was it happening before that?
I can’t reproduce this bug. Could you send me your config file from ~/.config/retrospaces/config.json?

Thanks for the inspiration! 👍
I’m just releasing version 0.5.0 with a new ZOOM OUT / IN animation when switching from the current desktop to a new one. I’ve also changed the speed sliders to use more detailed steps. Thanks for the feedback 🎉

In the log, I can only see one issue, and that’s with the desktop wallpaper - nothing else. I pushed version 4.0.1 to production, where the desktop backgrounds are handled, so I can gather more information about the error. Unfortunately, I didn’t find out anything about yabai 🎉 However, I assume that if it still doesn’t work, the issue is that the entire yabai initialization process needs to be run again. The new version is not available yet 😢

That’s strange behavior from yabai. I’m testing on macOS 15.7.9 (24G830) and macOS 26.6.2 (25G83) - the same version you’re using - and everything works for me except for the known bug (see https://retrospaces.cz/forum/?topic=2).

What I would appreciate:
1) Please send me the diagnostic logs by going to Configuration → Debug and clicking Send diagnostic to developer now.
2) If you’d like, you can also enable Send anonymous diagnostics periodically.
The most common causes of this specific alert are:
1) The scripting addition failed to load or got unloaded — typically after restarting the Mac, updating yabai, or restarting Dock.app (the SA is injected into it) — this can be fixed with sudo yabai --load-sa.
2) SIP was re-enabled in the meantime, even partially — the SA will not work at all unless SIP is configured accordingly.The yabai process crashed, or the running yabai version does not match the installed SA.

known bugs 😢
creating or destroying spaces fails
1) In the configuration/layout you cannot Add or Remove desktops.
2) This is a bug in yabai and has already been reported. See: https://github.com/asmvik/yabai/issues/2821
workarounds
1) You can use macOS Mission Control to add or remove desktops.
2) You can use the latest Git version of yabai: https://github.com/asmvik/yabai
Alternatively, you can wait for the new yabai version, v7.1.26. See: https://github.com/asmvik/yabai/tags

Version 0.4.0 is on the way 🎉
Grid now has two view options: Standard and Exploded.
You can set a Hotkey or Corner action to toggle between them. Each trigger will switch the grid to the next view. I hope this is it 😄

Sure, I understand 🎉 I don’t use app tiling on my desktops, so that functionality hadn’t occurred to me yet. Thanks for pointing it out. I’ll take a look at what options macOS offers 👍

Hi Steve,
Welcome to the RS forum 👍. I have three questions about your feature request:
1) Would it make sense for you to do this in the BIG GRID?
2) Or on the ACTIVE DESKTOP, using another hot corner, similar to how Mission Control works today?
3) Or would you like BOTH OPTIONS?
Thanks!

If any of you have ideas for features that might be useful, this is the place to share them 👍 Thanks for the suggestions! I’ll add the best ones to the TODO list and they’ll be implemented.
