Is it possible to run this as daemon / without GUI?
It doesn't have a background daemon. I wasn't sure if it would be confusing for user that the profile changes even when application is not running. But that's something that I'm interested in input from users too, would that be desirable? For now I just went with the easiest route, not doing a separate daemon.

I would like to do the following suggestions:
-insert option to allow your app to work without it being opened, then users have the choice (I get your point about it)
-can you integrate a setting for airplane mode? That's what I use at night and would be nice to deactivate it automatically and allow internet connections to look for feeds and mails etc. when I'm in the shower

GREAT app BTW, used the equivalent on N900.

I'll investigate that. The flight-mode is not controlled like profiles, but if I find a way I'll include it. I agree it would be nice.
If it can be made to switch profiles without the app running, that would be a huge bonus.

Thanks for your work. I'm trying out the profile switcher now. Here is some feedback:
1. Nice UI so far :-)
2. I don't like the current time selection lists very much. If you keep them, change the minute list to 5 minute intervals, most users won't need to set it to an exact minute and scrolling is reduced significantly.
3. If possible it would be great to have the N9 time dial (as in alarms) for time selection. I'd really like that :-).
4. Provide a Wifi in range event. I work at different times during the day and like to have silent when in Office Wifi and normal when I leave or go to lunch.
5. Its impractical to leave the app open all the time. Use the Harmattan "timed" (http://meego.gitorious.org/meego-middleware/timed/) to schedule events or write your own daemon (http://harmattan-dev.nokia.com/docs/...g_daemons.html).
6. Have a look at Nokia Situations (http://betalabs.nokia.com/apps/nokia-situations), plenty more ideas for you.
Thanks again and good luck with the project.

Thanks for the great work with this app!
I think it's clear most (all?) people want the app to work in the background, even when it's not explicitly started by the user, or at least have an option for it to do that. The reason being, I suppose, that the application is designed to change the profile setting automatically because it's hard to remember to do that manually. If you then have to remember to start the app manually to actually do that, then it defeats the purpose a bit doesn't it ;-)
It was an unexpected downside of buying the N9 that stuff that happens automatically or in the background in the N900 isn't so easily done in the N9 (I guess because of the widget design of the N900).

One more thing, as you can see from the icon I'm not much of a graphics artist. So if anyone wants to create a nicer looking icon (SVG file), I'm grateful. I have to send here also many thanks to Javispedro for creating the excellent Harmattan Squircle generator, which allowed me to create an icon that at least looks like it belongs to Harmattan.
