You have full control of your privacy and policy.

The main goal is to survey a list of computers or servers and collect related data. It's a way to create automatic inventory of your machines but also a way to know all the technical specs of your computers and status. For example, you can see, and also be alerted when a server is down.
It's an online service powered by native apps. You just need to install DataMac Agent freeware on monitored computers. The specs will be sent to our servers (you can control all details). From DataMac Monitor app, you can survey your computers behavior. 

DataMac is also a great companion utility for WebKiosk and internet kiosks to make sure that your internet kiosks are still online. 

NOTE: we are considering to share some specs of monitored data to the Mac community to get a sense of most used Mac models, most used version of macOS, etc. We need your feedback, ideas about this feature. 

Just go to the preferences to setup your list of social networks enabled by default.

NOTE: by default, the trial version is limited to 3 social networks or websites.

MultiTime is a way to concentrate on multiple social networks or websites. You can add multiple columns and each column is an independent web browser. You can define the width of columns and the content for each column from preferences.

It's a great way to browse the timeline of multiple social networks or to publish content to multiple social networks in a faster way. You can have up to 10 social networks or websites side by side.

We tested and added the full support of Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Telegram, Snapchat, Reddit, LinkedIn, YouTube, Discord, Slack.

During this time, your mailboxes are not monitored.

The only solution in this case is to install SpamOut on a server. We recommend to rent a server from MacWeb

In preferences, you can setup two ways to monitor your mailboxes

- entering your own list of sentences or words to ban 
- using the list created and managed by SpamOut (the list is updated weekly)

By default, SpamOut check every 3 minutes your mailboxes but you can setup it with more options.

You just have to copy two items:
1. The application WebDesk
2. The folder containing preferences at the same location. Users / Account Name / Library / Containers / WebDesk

If your list of favorites is empty, the menu will not appears.

This feature can be enabled in preferences. You need to setup your SMTP server in preferences too.

By default, all downloads from the browser are blocked for safety. Users can only download some file formats from the download menu or by using the function Enter URL located at the top right position of the toolbar (after search icon). 
In preferences, you can also completely disable the downloads of files (you can even setup the file formats). In this case, users can only access websites and cannot download files at all.

A lot of employees are distracted by internet free access or facing security issues. This web browser is helping employees to concentrate on their tasks. You can limit the browsing to a list of websites that are authorized (concept of white list). This is a way to improve productivity but also to make sure that security rules are not breached. You can disable the downloading of files, customize the toolbar of the web browser, enable a list of default favorites and much more. Give a try and download the trial version! 

Yes, there is an option to forbid users using Safari. When they open it or switch to it, they are redirect automatically to WebDesk. Just add WebDesk as a login items to have this function working all the time. 

NOTE: There is an option to forbid users to quit WebDesk.  Of course, they can always do ForceQuit to quit WebDesk and go to Safari but most people don't know about this feature. UPDATE: We have a new option in version 2.1 automatically relaunching the app and blocking Safari thanks to WebDesk Agent background app.

We do have some experiences. 
We were one of the first customers of the original Apple Xserve, a long time ago. Since this time, we always use Apple Servers for our products and services.
We work with MacWeb for the best hosting services. We can setup most servers with Apache, PHP, MySQL, Mamp Pro, etc. 

There are few steps that we like to follow for better project management.

Step 1. Request a quote from our contact form
Step 2. We are going to create an estimate accessible from your user account. You can decline it or accept it. You can also request updates to it.
Step 3. Once you accept an estimate, it's converted to an invoice. You need to pay 50% as a downpayment before we start working on your project.
Step 4. We will update the progress of the project via a beautiful user interface available from your account.
Step 5. When we are done, you can check and validate the quality of the project.
Step 6. If you are happy with our work, you will need to pay the reminder of the invoice.

That's it. We love to work in a very agile environment using the best tools to communicate milestones and the progress. Feel free to ask any question!

For any project, we ask for 50% of the cost upfront after validation of a quote. Why?

First of all, it's a way for you to showcase that you are serious about payment and business practices. 

If you are not happy with our work because of serious troubles or if we messed up something, we will refund half of the down payment or even all of it if we made a huge mistake. You can trust us on that. It's very rare as in ten years, we mostly had two disappointed customers. We want happy customers so will do our best to fill your needs.

For some services, we request a full payment in advance.
 

YES and NO. We do not work with customers in some geographic zones (Asia, India, Russia or Africa at this time).

We are open minded about other locations as we work remotely. 

We mostly focus on the most popular and powerful CMS so it's why we picked WordPress and ExpressionEngine are our default engines but we are open minded. We test every CMS in the market at regular intervals. We love to see new things. 

We used CraftCMS, ConcreteCMS, Drupal, Joomla, Shopify, Prestashop and even Webflow. 

Feel free to contact us if you want to learn more about why we have a strong preference for ExpressionEngine also called eecms. 

For the best accuracy of a quote, we just recommend to provide as much details as possible when you contact us. 

We know it's time consuming to write down everything related to a project but it serves as a reference and a source of knowledge for both sides: your team and our team. 

The best solution is to use our online form and select the Quote category but sending an email at support@xproline.io is also fine.

At the bottom of our website, you can see a Newsletter link where you can subscribe to our monthly newsletter or see the unsubscribe link.

We believe it's the future of development and design. It's great for designers to validate concepts, build better prototypes and it's goof for developers to deliver faster amazing solutions. We are not afraid of it. We fully embrace the trend and we love testing all new tools in this field.

Nope, like Apple, we deeply care about privacy and security. 

We are very picky on these topics and we will never do anything wrong for users. 

Sadly, a lot of companies are doing a sneaky business with the data of users and it's wrong. You can trust us on this topic.
