Ever wanted a plain overview of your desktop and open apps? Raskin is an alternative desktop interface that places your documents on a zoomable surface.
This reduces window clutter and makes finding, organizing, previewing, and opening documents considerably quicker once you get used to it. For instance, there's no need to go digging through deep folder structures or remember file names - all of your files and folders are displayed openly with full previews and all you need to do is zoom-in for a closer look.
You can use trackpad gestures to zoom and pan your way around the contents of your computer instead of navigating with a mouse. Although Raskin may sound like an alternative to Finder and Exposé, its more like a complement to it although its arguable that if you use Expose, you don't really need Raskin that much. However Raskin adds more power to your desktop browsing including organizing photos on memory cards.
Raskin is an interesting addition to Finder and Expose on your desktop.
