Jelly SMS for Mac Beta (free)

fbradyirl

Just letting you know that I posted a beta of a new Mac app that I'm working on:

Feel free to give it a spin. Let me know if you have any feedback or of bugs found. (preferably using the Jelly SMS>About>Contact Support menu as this lets me know what your environment setup is like)

This is great! Thanks

JSMS has been one of my favourite applications.

Just posted a new update to the beta last night guys. Contains a lot of fixes. Message sending is rock solid at this stage. Any feedback is appreciated.

Hi Finbarr,

I'm loving this!
Only issue is that its not clearing text after sending even though I've this selected in preferences.
Not a big deal at all.

I'm with O2 (OS 10.6.6).

Thanks for the heads up Iomega Man. This is sorted now and I'll update the site tomorrow with the latest and greatest...

Shift and Enter to send message?

It's the little things... Nice job though!

fbradyirl

Cmd+Shift+d will send the message (same as Mail.app). Cheers!

A bit of a gimmick, but I've added a feature called 'Insert Current Location' into the latest beta.

It's surprising how accurately it nails your Mac's location:

I've also added a new import option into the latest beta, which allows you to import contacts from the Java version of Jelly SMS if you had it installed.

You can keep it sync'd with GMail, Yahoo, etc at the same time.

The latest beta is now up on the site. This one won't expire until after Apple has approved the app for the Mac App Store, so this should be the last beta you need to download.

Tried downloading but wont install ... got the following error message:

You cannot use this version of the application Jelly SMS.app with this version of Mac OS X.

I've OS X version 10.5.8

Any sign that it will be updated to be installed on older machines??
Cheers - app looks good

I'm afraid I can't support Leopard. Main reason being that I only have one Mac and it has Snow Leopard on it.

CLARiiON

Ah no problem, I was meaning to update the OS anyway!
Cheers for the reply...

Just to let you know that the beta period is now over. The app has been approved and is now available on the Mac App Store.




Thanks so much to everyone who helped out with testing. There will be lots more features coming in future free updates...

Cheers
Finbarr

Beta still works fine btw. You just have to click the Provide feedback button and cancel the dialog that comes up.

/edit: Ta! I'll purchase once the sms history is all sorted.

But where's the 'Send' button? ;-)

Watch out for the signature that will be added to each text randomly

What signature does it add?

/edit: And how often would it be expected to be added?

Something like 'Sent by JellySMS' is added to each SMS shortly after a beta has expired... (this is solely a safeguard against piracy on the app store).

This signature will never be added to the paid for version on the Mac App Store.

Jelly SMS Lite is now available for free on the Mac App Store:
