I have considered it, but it would lose a lot of features. It would have to be a "lite" version. To get what we need, we would have to use an external device (think Raspberry Pi) to get the information needed. It's something we are looking at... but as a network guy, I use stuff outside the app store every day (Wireshark, Ekahau, etc.) and have no issue with it.
replyI am not the OP, but my guess is that it uses APIs that disqualify it from the App Store. It looks like they are doing stuff with raw sockets and probably using some stuff from private 802.11 frameworks?
replyThe app looks fantastic. I'll probably end up buying it.
I'm very curious as someone who also offers Mac software but not on the app store... why is not being on there a dealbreaker?
replyNot the OP, but for me it's a combination of factors. For subscription software I like knowing I can cancel easily and will keep that subscription til the end of my current term. More generally it just means I know it'll be accessible to me in the future, regardless of whether your company goes bust and stops paying for the license activation servers.
replyThey are less accessible in the future. Apps on the macOS App Store (as well as iOS, iPadOS, etc.) are taken down / removed from availability if the developer stops paying the Apple Developer Program subscription.
replyPeople outside US may be able to pay through App store, but not through whatever payment processor you use.
replyFor me it’s dealbreaker that it’s available via homebrew.
replyNot a stance or anything, but when I get a new Mac I use homebrew bundle If it’s not in my brewfile from old Mac, theres a high probability I won’t get it installed.
This is actually really cool. I use Homebrew all the time, but didn't know GUI paid apps were a thing. Wow. THANK YOU! Coming to brew line near you soon :)
replyI don't have a lot of experience with this... I'll look into it.
