W thrust, A/D turn, S brake, Space fire primary weapons, F fire missiles and torpedoes, Tab cycle targets, R target the nearest hostile, L land, M galaxy map, J jump, B board a disabled ship, E enter a wormhole, and Esc pause.

Every key except Escape can be rebound in Settings › Controls, or press ⌘/ in game to see the full list.

Yes. Any controller macOS recognizes (Xbox, PlayStation or MFi) works in flight, alongside the keyboard: the left stick steers and thrusts, the triggers fire, and A lands. The full layout is in Settings › Controls. Docked screens use the mouse or trackpad.

Whenever you're docked: after landing, after every trade or purchase, and when you press ⌘S. You can't save in flight. If your ship is destroyed, you can reload your last docked save, unless you're playing Ironman.

Saves are in the game's own folder on your Mac:

~/Library/Containers/com.lastfreeport.LastFreeport/Data/Library/Application Support/com.lastfreeport.LastFreeport/Saves

Each pilot has its own folder, with the current save and a backup of the previous one. If a save is damaged, the game loads the backup automatically. Time Machine backs these folders up like any other files.

Ironman gives your pilot one save and permanent death. If your ship is destroyed, that pilot is retired for good and listed as a memorial under Load Pilot. You choose it when you create a pilot, and you can't turn it off later.

Through a wormhole. Wormholes appear on the galaxy map as violet rings. Fly to the mouth and press E. Your jump drive can't cross between galaxies. Each wormhole only opens once you've earned access to the region on the far side, and the hint on screen tells you which mission or contact opens it.

Open the galaxy map and select a system in the closed region. It lists the ways in, such as hauling for a guild, fighting for a picket, or charting it as an explorer. Jobs that open a region are marked with a key at spaceport bars.

Go to Settings › Controls and choose Reset to defaults. This doesn't touch your pilots or saves.

No. Last Freeport is fully offline, with no accounts, ads or in-app purchases, and it collects no data. See the Privacy Policy.

A Mac running macOS 15 or later. A keyboard and a mouse or trackpad are enough; a controller is optional.
