Since my rating was kinda harsh before I will re-rate this with 3 stars because I did like it and it works well for what the developer intended, but alas it is not for me.

I was using a demo of Main Menu a year or so ago and every 15 minutes or so it would pop up prompting me to pay. OK, annoying. I liked the functionality and figured that perpetual brash prompts were an oversight. Soon after, MacUpdate offered the app for free so I downloaded and got my serial number. The serial number didn't work. I contacted the developer and I was told that since I didn't pay for it, they wouldn't help me. I ended up uninstalling and reinstalling it and it worked. I liked it. It wasn't anything more than similar apps but again, it looked good. Eventually I started to run into some issues after running the maintenance scripts. And yes... no help for support since I obtained my key via a promotion. Unbelievable. I moved on.
Today in the app store I see he is selling this and a few other products. True to the behavior shown before, the developer (EyeHeartBrains) is self reviewing his apps acting like an end user. He has basically copied and pasted the same review for all of his apps with garbage like "I am very impressed with this app and all of its options... Oh sooo fast....or I am so happy to see this in the app store, etc".
If the developer wasn't so money hungry and used the energy he expends on bad business practices to invest in the product it could be best of breed. Maybe he treats 'paying' customers better but if you are a valid licensed user you should receive the same support.
Until then, his apps don't deserve consideration.

Until this terribly scary issue is fixed I'm am NOT launching MainMenu (that I have used for ages under its previous incarnation) again. This "Force Delete Files" menu item can very easily accessed by mistake and a couple of Enter Key presses down the road you may have deleted a whole hard drive.. that is SICK !!
ONYX.. you are not as sexy but damn you force me to be cautious and take it slow.. so ONYX.. I'm back in your arms baby.

I still own Onyx, which I still think is an outstanding free maintenance application. MainMenu offers one useful advantage: access from the menu mar. Find the script you want to run, and let it go - as you continue working on your Mac. That said, I can't say that I noticed much new in the new version (aside from a face-lift), and it's not any faster than the competition. A long-promised feature - ejecting stuck disks - still doesn't exist.

When I downloaded and first used the trial, I was disappointed to see that the translucent Log window option had been removed.
I like to see what it is doing as it performs the routines.
I sent feedback to MM and within 24 hours, this feature has been returned! That is what I call support! So it is now at 3.0.2
If you have 3.0.1 it will update itself as soon as you launch it.
I consider the discounted price (if you already have MM2) to be money well spent. It also appears to be MUCH faster than MM2
I have run it on my 2.66 24" iMac and my 2.13 MacBook white
without a hitch.

Otherwise I have to agree with your comments.
The cost I expect is to cover the code changes to work with Lion reliably. Personally, I have used it for so long and rely on it so much that I don't mind the $14 (discounted for having MM 2)
It has cost me nothing so far for all the upgrades since my original purchase.

all other options on offer but the 'Maintenance Scripts' and arrow head is greyed out, and unable to be invoked. All other options are ok
If I want to run the scripts, I have to kill and restart Main Menu. Other utilities (Cocktail, Onyx etc) are all able to run the scripts, so is hard for me to see why...
any ideas out there?
thanks

Hopefully will have to time put out a proper update for 10.5
thanks
Then the update to 10.4.9 broke it not very happy!!!
So I hunt around looking for an update!!
v1.7.1 says it works with 10.4.9 but I downloaded it from this page and it still comes up with the compatibility error?!?!?
What an I doing wrong please help
Thank you in advanced
Tim
Thank you

HTH.
Thank you

I suppose you could try doing a 'fresh' install. Go into System Preferences/Accounts/Login Items and delete it from your list. Then delete com.santasw.MainMenu.plist from ~/Library/Preferences/. Then delete the MainMenu.app from Applications then restart.
After restart, install MainMenu.app again into your Apps folder and launch. Any joy?
When the dev will fix it? :)

Hopefully we'll see an update soon and some 8 processor Mac Pros.

1.7.1 released with 10.4.9 compat. (in case you have email reminders set for your post)
Thanks for being patient :)

We've informed the developer a couple of times that we will host his download so that he can save his money and the download will always be available via MacUpdate, but he declined.

Regarding the MU mirror, perhaps it could be included as an alternate link on this page, for when the site is down?

We stand by to assist you to the best of our abilities.

Those who have this issue should re-download MM, the problem should be solved.
Thanks!

P.S. This not the fault of this program it is grreat. The faulty information in Apple not passing on such valuable information. This is still the best Utility for Intel Macs. Would still like for it to inspect font cache and REALLY clean font caches instead of having to use font finagler.

Will definitely add font cache inspection in the near future. ;-)
Thanks for the suggestion!

Developer
However, I am having trouble getting it to launch on login, like, say, Himmel Bar or Butler. Although I have selected the "Start MainMenu at login" and the "Authorize at launch" options in the preferences, I still have to manually relaunch everytime I restart.
Is anyone else experiencing this?
Other than that, an excellent little utility all the way around.
