Windows and workspaces
Why are my windows so small in Mission Control?
Wimi keeps hidden windows in a tiny sliver at the corner of your screen, so Mission Control shows them very small. To fix it, open System Settings → Desktop & Dock, find the Mission Control section and turn on Group windows by application.
Are Wimi workspaces the same as macOS Spaces?
No. Wimi’s nine workspaces are its own and don’t need any Spaces settings: Hyper 1–9 switches between them, and Hyper ⇧1–9 sends the focused window to one. They’re part of Wimi Pro.
Setup
Which permissions does Wimi need?
Accessibility is required, so Wimi can list, move and focus windows. Screen Recording is optional and only adds live window previews; without it you see app icons instead.
What is the Hyper key?
Hyper means pressing ⌃⌥⌘ together. Wimi can optionally turn Caps Lock into Hyper, so its shortcuts take one finger.
Which Macs does Wimi run on?
macOS 14 Sonoma or later, on Apple silicon and Intel.
How do I uninstall Wimi?
Quit Wimi from the menu bar and move it from Applications to the Trash.
Free and Pro
What happens when the trial ends?
Every download starts with a 30-day Pro trial, with no account or card. Afterwards Wimi drops to the free version, which you can keep using forever. Hidden windows come back on screen and your settings are kept, so buying Pro restores everything.
How does the Pro license work?
Pro is a one-time purchase, not a subscription, and one license key works on 2 Macs. See pricing for what’s included.
Does Wimi send my data anywhere?
Window lists, window history, clipboard history and settings stay on your Mac. The privacy policy lists the few things Wimi does send, such as the update check.
