I'm in Australia, you're Swedish (but I don't know if your business is based there), and most web sites show US prices by default. So I wouldn't like to guess whether it was meant to be AUD, USD, or SEK.

Thanks! Should be resolved now, and show AUD correctly.

Hi cindori, I couldn't figure these out without purchasing:

1. Does Backdrop plan to support 5K/6K wallpapers? Those resolutions are pretty standard for Mac workstations.

2. Is functionality similar to TopNotch supported where the notch is hidden? If this was supported I'd likely buy a lifetime license today.

1. Yes, they are technically supported but sourcing material is hard. 2. It does not currently, but I’ll consider adding support for that! Although I feel that it might not work well on macOS Tahoe, which ships with a new ”faded blur” menu bar background.

I'm no pro rev. engineer or anything, but did you try alternatives to Hopper at all? I've never had much luck with Hopper compared to Radare2 and IDA.
cindori · 3 months ago
I haven’t tried those, but Hopper has been working pretty well for me. Although I mostly just sift through the assembly and pseudocode, and don’t use many advanced features.

Is this inspired by that viral Sabrina Carpenter lock screen video?

I started developing Backdrop years ago, but it was funny to see that video go viral!

I like this and would seriously consider buying it - except that the purchase page only has prices in something called "AA$". I have no idea what currency that refers to (AA is Aruba, but they don't use dollars), or how much that might come to in my local currency.

Thanks for reporting this! To clarify, what currency did you expect to see?
