Dejal Simon is the essential site monitoring tool for Mac OS X. It checks sites for changes or failures, and notifies you via e-mail, sound, speech, or other means.

You can use it to track updated sites, and to alert you when an important site goes down or recovers.

What's New:
Added a MySQL service. It allows connecting to a local or remote MySQL database and performing a query, to ensure it is working correctly. (Note, it hasn't been fully tested in this release. If you have a MySQL database, please give it a try. You'll need to add the service first if you've previously used Simon.)
Added file:// as an available default protocol in the Basic service.
Changed the default preference for double-clicking on a test to edit it instead of preview, since it is more general, particularly with tests that don't support previewing.
Fixed a bug that affected only the Application and new MySQL service plug-ins, where an error from the first check after adding it would be ignored.
Updated the French localization.
Updated the User Guide.
