I'm pretty sure it does, because it had The Giving Tree

Wow. MacHeist 4. I can't believe it's actually happening.
Unfortunately, it looks like I'm sitting this one out because of aggressive version requirements. It's been real.

HeistAgent is a one-feed RSS reader/alerter. It can't not work unless the feed changes (which if I recall was set in a prefs file).

I downloaded HeistAgent out of curiosity the other day. I think it ran once, and now it won't run at all. Curious...

Each time I start my mac, he tells me about the givin tree... I'm always thinking it has started and I mistake myself tongue
Is it the same for all people or have I a problem ?
(I thought the "last" message was saved somewhere so that it displays only new info)

I've also been wondering this, I only see a message when I reboot, which isn't very often.

Will a message just pop up when the next heist starts?  Because I didn't get one when the Mini "practice" heist began.

I'll check the running services when I get home.

Guys I'll say it again - it's just an RSS reader/alerter. When it runs, it pops up the last entry in the feed. If the feed is updated, you'll be alerted. This is why it runs in the background and not in your dock or menu bar. Install it and forget about it. If you reboot, you'll be re-alerted as to what was last in the feed.

I've got an RSS reader, too ;-)
I'm pretty sure it'll display something today or tomorrow...
