The Watchmac 1.5.1r2 crash notwithstanding, Watchmac is a finely crafted security app. which otherwise works quite well.
I've found its developer easily accessible and very responsive to queries and issues.

Crashes on launch, every time. Reverting back to version 1.4.3 eliminates the crashing. Mac OS X 10.5.8, Mac Mini 2009.

This software could still use a few more triggers, most importantly a "MagSafe plugged" one.
