Simon 5 is coming soon!
Simon version 5 is currently in beta testing. It is a massive update, introducing a much-requested feature: syncing the Simon data between multiple Macs, plus a Simon Status service, a Link Checker filter, improved Find filter, iMessage and Speak Error notifiers, a new app icon, and much more.
Important: please note that Simon 5 requires a minimum of macOS 10.12 (Sierra), and will be a paid upgrade from Simon 4 after the beta. Purchasers since September 1, 2020 automatically get a version 5 license (that also works in previous versions).
Re: SMS Notifier
Hi,
Weird! I haven't heard of a crash with the SMS notifier before.
Is it actually crashing (Simon unexpectedly quits), or freezing (Simon becomes unresponsive)? If the former, please send me a crash log. If the latter, please send a sample.
A "sample" when Simon is unresponsive might help indicate the cause. Please do the following:
1. Open Activity Monitor;
2. Click on Simon;
3. Click Sample Process;
4. Click Save... and save to a file;
5. Send me the file.
Another useful thing is to look for errors in the console log:
1. Launch Console (in /Applications/Utilities);
2. Type "simon" in the Filter toolbar field;
3. Copy all remaining lines and paste in a reply.
Re preferences, yes, Simon stores prefs in the ~/Library/Preferences folder. Look for the file com.dejal.simon2.plist.
