I really want to like iMote, but it leaks memory like no other application I've seen. After a day or two of being open it can easily consume 150+ MB of real memory, which is ridiculous for an application of this type (the only apps that regularly consume more than that are web browsers, which have a bunch of open tabs storing tons of history and cache, etc. etc.). It is quite annoying to have to relaunch the app every couple days.
My advice to the author would be to switch to Objective C 2.0 with automatic garbage collection when Leopard is released. This should solve the memory leaks once and for all. At that point, I would gladly register and contribute to his development fund.
