The developer describes Raskin as a desktop user interface Inspired by Jef Raskin which shows you all the stuff on your computer on one single surface. And – with its intuitive zoom and pan navigation – Raskin lets you view, arrange and open documents with ease. In minutes you’ll discover the simplicity and intelligence of our desktop alternative. Raskin has been optimized to run on Mac OS X Snow Leopard.

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
