Looks like the company went out of business. Too bad. I liked it a lot.

Can't Uninstall in System Prefs! - Version: 1.6.3, 12/30/2006 07:49PM PST

Can anyone tell me how to remove Peripheral Vision from my System Prefs? I installed it on my Intel Mac - my mistake - then uninstalled the app, and now the prefs icon in sys prefs won't go away?! Please help?!

and universal binary to date. It doesn't work now I have a Mac Pro - feels like a part of me has died (and not gone to heaven)
It's fine, but...

Hardware Growler (part of the free Growl app) does the exact same thing, but it's free. (Plus you get all the other cool parts of Growl).
It really should be part of the OS. - Version: 1.6.3, 7/5/2006 12:40PM PST

It's that simple. Why Apple doesn't do this is beyond me.

Seeing that we have visual feedback for when the volume is increased or decreased and when the DVD drive is ejected, it's a wonder that Apple did not add this as part of their system software in 10.4. It integrates seamlessly and unobtrusively with the system software, and it just feels right. You get to know in a snap when something is plugged in and when the computer actually *sees* the device you plugged in. It doesn't take up a lot of resources or processor power, nor does it get in the way of anything.
A true gem. And the price is right too. Did I mention this works without a hitch in Tiger?

So obvious one has to wonder why it's not part of OS X. - Version: 1.6.3, 2/13/2005 04:33AM PST

Works as expected, mandatory if you hot-plug/remove devices.
The only problem with Peripheral Vision is that something like this should really be part of Mac OS X, that's an Apple problem though.

Nice utility - Version: 1.6, 2/14/2004 09:24AM PST

I've just installed this and find it very useful. It helped me diagnose a problem I was having with my USB palm devise not syncing all the time. (Turned out it was connecting/disconnecting/connecting for each sync attempt.)
I'd like to see a preference to let the user select how long the visual persists on screen. Other than that, I think it's great.

fails to shut down - Version: 1.5, 11/24/2003 06:30AM PST

On my G4 running Panther, recently intermittent failures to shut down have been experienced with Peripheral Vision ("interrupted the Shut Down process").
Very good, so mac-like and essential - Version: 1.5, 11/24/2003 06:06AM PST

A big fan of the product since it was called USBMonitor,
I am always surprised to use a mac that has not it installed,
as it feels so much part of mine that I forget it is an add-on!
For m, for example, it compensates for the absence of the (rather ugly but useful) network-on light on the Ethernet plug that you usually find on PCs, by showing a visual (and sound) alert whe the network is plugged in.
It also helps, when plugging in my Dv camera, and iMovie reacts slowly, to remind me of the fact that even if the camera is plugged, it is often not turned on!
Or, it shows a nice alert when my Bluetooth phone gets connected, when in proximity (in conjuction with Salling Clicker, another jewel).
All in all a very nice and discreet addition to my system, elegant and carefully crafted.
It is integrates naturally in OS X, compensates for the the usual lack of reaction of my mac when anything is plugged ok (ok, we need no confirmation because "the mac just works" but sometimes it is nice to be re-assured that indeed it just works! ;-) ) and it makes my mac all the more a mac, user friendly and non obstrusive! (compare it to the annoying "looking for drivers" alerts on Windows.)
And, on top of it, it is so cheap (for the reluctant, try first USBMonitor, still a free program. You'll love it and I bet you'll upgrade to this one)
