Aww, Aurora’s no longer freeware

Aurora‘s a pretty cool app for the Mac. I don’t use it very often, but when I’ve been traveling, it’s been nice to have a backup alarm. As I do every day, I ran my little Application Update widget and got really excited when I saw a new release! New cool, free software!

I like things that are free.

Unfortunately, Aurora’s become a shareware app. Well, it’s not really unfortunate. It’s a cool app. I’m sure there’s people for whom it’ll be worth the $15. It’s just not for me; I don’t use it enough. So now I’m left to wonder “Do I keep the old version and get taunted by the AppUpdate widget every time there’s a new release? Or do I remove the old version and learn to live without it?”

Really, that’s what’s currently going through my brain. I think I might actually remove the app. It’s no offense to Aurora, I just don’t want to have that pang every time the widget displays new stuff.
