Jumpcut is open source code built with open source code. Jumpcut incorporates the following libraries, used with gratitude:

Additionally, much of the original code for Jumpcut was derived from Brett Simmons' TigerLaunch and constant referral to the examples and discussion at CocoaDev.com; the launch on login behavior was adapted from LaunchAtLogin by Tim Schröder.
