CBRANTLY  I don't think your sleep issue is related to ChargerChecker. I use it on several laptops and have never had this problem.

The phone-home only happens once when you launch the app or when the daemon starts. This is checking what the current version is to give you update notifications. No personal information is sent.

CBRANTLY  ChargerChecker requires 10.4.   
(Version 0.5)

CBRANTLY  Your method also doesn't take into account if the user has their display set to adjust to ambient light. Just because your screen dims doesn't necessarily mean that your power supply was disconnected.

CBRANTLY  John,

Thanks for the review. The new version of ChargerChecker uses a disk image.   
(Version 0.2)

CBRANTLY  I am the developer of ChargerChecker and just wanted to set the record straight. I was not even aware of your program until I received your email, and none of my code is based on yours. ChargerChecker is an AppleScript Studio application and uses some python do do the actual checking. I have no idea what method you are using.

I don't have a MacBook Pro myself, but I read several forums where people were complaining about the MagSafe power connector being disconnected and one guy said he wished someone would write a shareware app to warn you. I thought this would be a simple program to write, so I took up the task.

Rest assured that none of your code is included in my app. I will however download and try out your app just out of curiosity.

Forum that gave me the idea:
