Our current focus

In 2012, we started building a new visual programming environment
that doesn’t rely on Apple's Quartz Composer (which Apple no longer supports).
We’ve created Vuo, and people are using it to create amazing shows and installations.
You can download the free Community Edition.

Unsupported — We cannot guarantee that this software will work properly on Mac OS 10.8 and above.

If you'd still like to purchase a license to an unsupported Kineme product,
please use PayPal to send the appropriate amount to store@kosada.com,
we'll respond with your license key(s) within 24 hours.

Forbidden Fruit

Just a heads up for all you exciting kineme.net users.

I, cwright, am starting an exciting new journey at a company located in Cupertino, California, on Monday, February 1st, 2010. You can probably guess what I'll be working on ;)

So, depending on how permissions work out, I might be silent here for a while. However, I will certainly be plastering QC propaganda on the mailing list, and will try to post it here too, of course.

Release: PowerInfo, v0.1

Release Type: Production
Version: 0.1
Release Notes

This patch provides information on available power sources.

Unlike the "Battery Info" sample plugin provided with Xcode Developer Tools, this patch reports information on external power sources (such as a UPS), and multiple simultaneous power sources.

QuartzBuilder

$25.00

QuartzBuilder allows you to easily create applications from your Quartz Composer creations, without having to muck about in Xcode.

Your compositions are encrypted, and Official API plugins, Unofficial API plugins, and simple resources are automatically bundled with the generated application.

Cocoa NSApplication and NSWindow events and properties are exposed to the composition, allowing unprecedented control over the rendering environment — for example, the window can be made full-screen on launch.

Download the trial below, or buy a license now.

When unregistered, output apps are limited to 55 patches.
