FAQ

FAQs

When will Control Space be available?

Control Space is now in Early Access and will be generally available in early or mid-December.

Is Control Space free or paid?

Control Space will be a paid product. I'm still determining the right price point, but as I add more features in the next few months I'll aim to introduce some simpler and cheaper tiers. Watch this space.

What features are in the works?

The Version 17.x release introduced more informative tabs, and the 18.x release is going to add more organisation and tooling. At some point in the near future I'll publish a Roadmap.

I'm interested in Feature X. Can I have it?

Click the Feedback button in the app and let me know what you're thinking. If it's a good idea and aligns with the product vision, I'll certainly consider it.

Hasn't it been in development for a while?

Yeah, it has. Life and work got in the way, but I'm back on this full time, so expect things to move more quickly from now on.

How many tabs does Control Space support?

A Beta user recently reported that Control Space was happily supporting 265 tabs without a problem. That's pretty amazing, but I'd recommend 30 - 50 tabs across 3 - 5 windows to give you the perfect user experience. Remember, you can save tabs, and come back to them later!

What's with Saved Tabs?

Saved Tabs was originally designed to be a kind of Session Manager, but it's clear now that it would be better as a kind of Bookmark Manager. To do that will take considerable work, so it is what it is for the time being.

How can I keep up to date with development?

You can sign up to the mailing list (see next section) or follow @controlspace on Twitter for sneak peeks, previews and news.
