I like your product, but…

…Why would someone buy it if they have an even simpler thing for free right there on their Mac?

I think you’re missing the point of the software. It’s not a “Script Editor replacement”. It offers some very interesting functionality - especially in a distributed environment. Cheers!

Jim is correct here.

KosmicTask’s primary function is to create a user friendly centralised store of AppleScript powered tasks that can be accessed locally or across the network.

KosmicTask does include a script editor (and can edit and compile scripts on remote machines) but this is not its primary function.

KosmicTask’s integrated file transfer capabilities make it suited to file processing tasks. The user can select a file (or files), dispatch them for processing and receive any number of files as a result.

The website at http://www.mugginsoft.com/kosmictask should soon feature some screencasts that will hopefully demonstrate the application’s functionality.
