Back in September I reached out to Ben Dansby looking for advice on how to be a successful Mac app developer. He of course has dozens of popular apps, both paid and free, including ShowRunner which I use for feature reels right here on this site.

He pointed out that the word "Paint" in "Mojave Paint" might not be the right word. It makes an association with very simple drawing apps like MS Paint or the original MacPaint from 1984, when in fact it's so much more than that. With advanced typographic control, clipping masks, smart folders, multi-stop gradients, vector shapes, it aspires to be nothing less than "the spiritual successor to Photoshop." A bold claim I know! But just you wait.

He suggested "Mojave Studio" and the more I stewed on it the more I liked it. So today version 1.9.1 officially changes the name to Mojave Studio. Many thanks to Ben on that one.
