If you’d like to beta test it before the final release in September, just sent me a note, brian@roobasoft.com Hoping to start the beta in earlyish September (the dates are all still very vague :) )

That would be a big reason for me to upgrade from SelfControl. Do you have an ETA for when 1.1 will be released?

First, thanks so much for this write-up and for the kind words. It’s excellent to see people appreciating Concentrate, especially some of the smaller things you mentioned.

I just wanted to address one note:

> Unfortunately, when it kills applications, you can always just reopen them. It’d be nice if you could actually block an app from opening at all, but I’m not even sure if OS X would allow that.

This has been a very popular request and it’s being addressed in 1.1 For anyone that’s interested, here’s my plan for 1.1: http://concentrate.tenderapp.com/faqs/behind-the-scenes/what-can-i-expect-in-11 The theme is to improve the launch/quit “what’s running” workflow.

Thanks again.
