Growl app review update#
When developers update their application to support Growl 1.3, Growl will no longer be required for them to display a notification to you. but you don't need Growl installed to get notifications. Growl is however still Open Source, there is more on that later in this post. Without changing to this paid Growl model, Growl would have died off and would no longer be around to use at all. Growl is now available in the App Store at a cost of $1.99 US (different in other regions). Money earned through purchases in the App Store go directly to benefiting Growl. We now have people working on Growl full time. Growl is no longer free to download - Growl as a paid application allows for good changes.Growl team leads Christopher Forsythe and Rudy Richter outlined the major changes in a blog post: Growl was previously free but version 1.3, released November 3, now costs $1.99 from the Mac App Store.
