Other than lack of software support from the 'home brew' programmers, Macs as far as I know are solid, dependable systems. Many of the gadget programs like BoincView simply dont exist for the Macs. Anyway.. good luck on your quest ID: 740700 ·

I have not tried it mostly because it did not seem to me that BOINC View was being maintained ... I could be wrong of course ... but ... I did not want to get "addicted" to BOINC View if it is dying ... ID: 740732 ·

Maybe it doesn't seem like it's being maintained since it works just fine as is? -Dave ID: 740758 ·

BOINCView + Parallels seems the way to go then. Time for a demo, I suppose. Thanks guys. Until I get around to that, at least the BOINC Manager supports connecting to other systems, though it's a little more inconvenient. ID: 740831 ·

I also run BoincView and the author has not posted on his website for almost a year. http://www.boinc-wiki.info/index.php?title=BoincView http://boincview.amanheis.de/ Sir Arthur C Clarke 1917-2008 ID: 740866 ·

I just use VNC to check in on other machines, regardless of their OS. I use VNC too, and BOINC Manager's remote admin features, but the nice thing about BoincView is that it handles multiple hosts on one screen. Sir Arthur C Clarke 1917-2008 ID: 741383 ·

I'm looking for something like BOINCView for OS X...does anybody know of such a beast? There isn't one, but I know somebody who is working on it :) (currently it doesn't support multiple computers; in fact it looks just like the default manager, just a bit more "native" on Mac) Contribute to the Wiki!

I could go "headless" on a number of systems ... VNC is Ok, but, for what I want to do most of the time is just to look at and "flush" results and keep an eye on progress for "hung" work ... and other odd conditions. That was why I liked BOINCView though after installing the latest version, well, it did not 'feel" like it used to, maybe I need to fiddle more with the settings to get it right ... But, I hate to go back to the small 20" screen ... and I cannot afford a KVM that will handle the 3-" monitor (yet) so I can't use it on the various systems I have ... ID: 741797 ·

For a start it will just be a "better Manager (Mac only)". Promised features include selecting multiple projects/tasks for aborting/suspending/etc, and sidebar buttons (abort/suspend/detach/etc) moved into a toolbar. Already finished features include sortable columns while still looking good (the official manager's Grid View looks ugly on all systems). The multi-machine features will probably come later...
