I am not knowledgeable in Objective-C and the purpose of my fork has purely been to remove enough errors to get the project to compile on the latest operating systems. In the process, I've removed several evidence sources that i did not know how to repair. I have made some updates to the preference panes as well to match latest operating systems and to support dark mode (not without a few issues still, but better at least). I'll add a release eventually. Feel free to report issues, but I probably will not be able to address them.
Long Term: I want to get my Swift skills up enough to slowly recreate this project in Swift, one piece at a time. More of an aspirational goal than a likely one though.
ControlPlane, a fork of MarcoPolo, brings context and location sensitive awareness to OS X. With ControlPlane you can intelligently reconfigure your Mac or perform any number of actions based on input from a wide variety of evidence sources including but not limited to available WiFi networks, current location, connected monitors, connected and nearby bluetooth devices, currently running apps and other configurable sources. You will find a full feature list at http://www.controlplaneapp.com/feature-list.
Using fuzzy logic, ControlPlane decides where you are and/or what you are doing (called a Context) using rules that you configure to then carry out any number of configured actions.
An example of how to use ControlPlane may include disabling the screensaver password while at work but enabling it when away from work. Another example would be to set your Adium status.
You can download the most recent version of ControlPlane from the ControlPlane website. Once installed you will be automatically notified of any new updates that become available.
ControlPlane is free, open source software hosted at https://github.com/dustinrue/ControlPlane. Before you can build ControlPlane you will need the following:
- Xcode 4.4+.
- A git client if you don't wish to use Xcode itself, the command line tools for Xcode include the Git command line client.
- OS X version 10.8.
If you wish to build ControlPlane yourself you can do so by cloning the ControlPlane code to your computer using Xcode or your preferred git client. Once cloned, open the project file in Xcode and edit the Action.h file to enable or disable the building of the iChat action.
