Mac users, are you sick of manually copying files to a dev server to see your changes? Try out FolderWatch, our new Mac OS app that should speed up your daily routine. It can monitor any folder(s) of your choosing and automatically replicate changes to a destination folder or server.

Give this app a try and let us know what you think. Please help us find any bugs!

Tip: To have your changes replicated to an FTP server, you can use Transmit and its Mount as Disk feature.
