This application runs in the background and reacts to the starting or re-starting of the Dock. When that happens it initiates the starting of the Dashboard. This prevents the delay you'll experience when launching Dashboard the first time you want to use it.
This application can only fullfil its purpose when it opens at login, it will ask you to allow it as a login item the first time you start it up.
What does it do ?
Within moments after startup, Dock restart or awake from sleep, the application will quickly open and dismiss the dashboard, allowing all of your widgets to initiate their start-up sequence. When you are ready to use them, only minimal initialisation time will remain.
