Griffin releases Proxi 1.0

by Dave Caolo (RSS feed) on May 25th, 2006

Back in April we wrote about the public beta of Proxi, which is the easy-to-use scripting software from Griffin Technology. Proxi lets you automate complicated routines, much like Automator or QuicKeys. Earlier this week, Griffin released version 1.0 of Proxi.

Changes to version 1.0 include support for the following triggers and tasks (among others):
  • Griffin AirClick (as well as several other Griffin devices)
  • Applescript
  • iTunes monitor
  • iChat monitor
  • Mail monitor
  • Growl notification
  • Open file
  • Open URL
  • Write to file
Proxi requires Mac OS 10.4 or later, is free and universal.

Proxi reaches version .20

by Dave Caolo (RSS feed) on Apr 20th, 2006

Last week, we told you about the public beta of Proxi, the automation tool from Griffin Technologies. It's a piece of software along the lines of Automator and QuicKeys that lets you create routines to complete complex or repetitive tasks. Today, Griffin has released version .20 of the public beta. Changes include:
  • Store Value task and extra value added
  • AppleScript task now supports compiled AppleScripts
  • "Save As Blueprint"added to trigger popup menu
  • Launch Application task now shows icon of app to be launched as a badge
A number of bugs have been addressed as well. The final version is scheduled for a May release, and will be free. Proxi requires Mac OS 10.4 or later.

Griffin releases Proxi beta

by Dave Caolo (RSS feed) on Apr 11th, 2006

Earlier today, Griffin technology released a public beta of Proxi, their latest piece of software for Mac OS X. By using "triggers" and "tasks," Proxi will let you automate complicated routines, much like Automator or QuicKeys. There are included triggers for many of Griffin's products, of course, like the PowerMate, AirClick and AirShark, but Proxi doesn't limit you to Griffin hardware; iTunes, iChat, Mail, Skype and more are all fodder for Proxi.

You can share "blueprints" (think "workflows") that you've created with other users. Check out the Proxi wiki for more information on that. I've only played around with the beta briefly, but it looks like fun. It's simple enough to allow non-programmers to create satisfying and useful routines.

The final version will be out in May, and will be free. No specific system requirements were given.
