Product Description:

This is a simple screen saver for Mac OS X version 1.3 that launches a regular Mac application, or a Unix executable, of your choice when the screen saver starts.

I originally developed it to help automatically launch clients for the Stanford Folding@Home project, but have since found other uses for it.

What's new in this version:

Recompiled as a Universal binary for Intel machines. Seems to work on quick testing, but I haven't had time to thoroughly exercise it yet.

It would be really nice if this were updated to be Universal Binary... Now that I have a computer with real some real power it would be nice to be able to use it...

Works as advertised.
To applebeer, in the time spent complaining you could have downloaded it and read the docs. Also it's not so complex, screen saver starts an app. How hard is that to comprehend? If you can't think of a use, then it's simply not for you. Move on to the next listing...

AppStartSaver ReviewWorks well - Version: 1.8, 1/15/2005 05:37PM PST

Works as it says it does. And the prices is right! What more can you ask for? :) Good for situations such as kiosk machines or similar when you want people to be able to use the Macs but after a period of non-use when the screen saver kicks in your "default" or demo app is re-launched.
Just what I was after :)
