What's New in Sleep Monitor
In this release we focused on improving your access to the Sleep Monitor database, and adding features to make searching thousands of events easier.
We also tweaked the graph and export capabilities, and fixed a couple of bugs.
AppleScript support
Sleep Monitor 2.1 introduces an often overlooked but important Mac feature: AppleScript.
We have exposed the internals of Sleep Monitor through AppleScript. This is an amazingly powerful way of accessing the database of monitored events.
Jump to...
After gathering months of information, Sleep Monitor is often used as a forensic tool. The ability to hone in on events on a specific date is critical.
New in version 2.1 is the ability to jump to a specific day's events. The 'Jump to...' menu borrows from Power Manager's interface and makes it easy to enter a date. Within seconds you can jump to a specific date; you no longer need to shift forward or backwards one day or month at a time.
To complement 'Jump to...', you can also zoom to an event in a graph by double clicking on it.
New graph element
We have added a new block type to the graph: periods of time when Sleep Monitor is stopped. This new block is pink and highlights times when our background monitors were off. Stopping and starting the monitors is an option available to adminstrators in the System Preferences.
