I found v2.4.1 to be problematic enough to Quit it and remove it from my Login Items list. *sigh* 😔 I've gone back to a previous version.

Great software, provided without charge, by a highly respected developer. This is extremely useful.

These seems very interesting and potentially very useful. I have frequently wanted to watch for things that apps set and store on my system, now it's just a matter of seeing how far this app takes this concept. I've used FSMonitor.app to watch apps while they're active, but to have a log to go back to and find out what apps are doing and where they're sticking stuff will be fantastic. @developer, can you give us more details about this app as far as what it will track wrt "persistence locations?"
