DESCRIPTION
App Stop is a powerful application engineered to allow you to take control of the applications running on your computer, increasing the speed of your computer. App Stop allows you to peform many operations on your applications such as pausing, setting processor priority, and force quitting. App Stop is great for people with slower computers, or for people who run processor hungry applications (such as video editors), who need to squeeze every ounce of speed out of their computer.
WHAT'S NEW
Version 2.1:
  • Priority slider now increases priority when moved to the right, and decreases when moved to the left
  • Improved Application Manager UI
  • Updated preferences to look and work more like Safari & Mail.app's preferences
  • When items in the menu-bar list are paused they are now colored red instead of displaying "(Stopped)"
  • Added 'All' filter criteria
  • Less frequent nagging for demo users (every 2 days)
  • Improved crash/bug reporting (now outputs stack traces and notifies user of exceptions)
  • You can now specify a global shortcut that can be used to bring the Application Manager forward
  • Improved 'hide and stop' reliability
  • Your filter criteria will now be preserved between App Stop startups
  • Totally rewrote the 'startup at login' code
  • Fixed a bug where the menu item would remain in 'paused state' when an application that was paused was killed
  • Major memory usage enhancements
  • Minor performance enhancements

    ZANGIEF  Does anyone still have the old free version? I don't have $15 for this, and I don't care if it's out of date, either.  (Version 2.1)

    GHHCYBERUS  I just downloaded this application. I get a message that tells me my 30 day demo is over, and I need to make a purchase. What is this?  (Version 2.1)

    CORTLAND  I still have the freeware version on my computer. It's not a bad app, though now that I have a faster G5, I don't use it.  (Version 2.1)
