1) If you have already installed MinimWatch 2.2, drag this to the trash
2) Download the test build from this link
3) Open the .dmg file and drag MinimWatch to the Applications folder
4) Launch MinimWatch
5) If you see a prompt to allow access to SystemUIServer, accept this
6) You should see a prompt to allow local network access. Accept this.
7) You should see an entry for MinimWatch in System Settings > Privacy & Security > Local Network, with access enabled
8) If the MinimWatch menu bar icon is grey, select Refresh from the MinimWatch icon menu
9) MinimWatch should now show any running instances of MinimServer on other devices

If you restart macOS after doing the above, do the following:

10) If the MinimWatch menu bar icon is grey, try doing a Refresh (step 8 above)
11) If this doesn't work, go to the Local Network window (step 7 above) and disable MinimWatch, then re-enable it
12) Do another Refresh. It should work this time.

Hi Simon

All works as far as 'Refresh' which doesn't and leaves the MinimWatch icon greyed out. However my old trick of putting the system to sleep and immediately reawakening it brings MinimWatch awake and functional.
