Conflict Catcher was a popular utility software application for the Mac OS, published by Casady & Greene. It aided Macintosh users solve operating system conflicts with extensions and control panels. Conflict Catcher included a print manual written by David Pogue. A Mac OS X version was never released, since Mac OS X does not use extensions. The last version of Conflict Catcher was version 9, for Mac OS 9, sales were already declining and in 2003, Casady and Greene went bankrupt. The largest reason for the declining sales of the program was the lack of a Mac OS X version, and its high pricing[citation needed]. Conflict Catcher 9 was priced at $63, significantly higher than average prices for utility software.
