Smart Crash Reports is an enhancement for the Apple’s CrashReporter application introduced in Mac OS X 10.4. It allows 3rd party developers to enhance CrashReporter in a way that if it determines that the crash is likely attributed to the 3rd party application, the crash log will be sent to the developer instead of Apple. (or potentially both) This enhances the user experience of the OS, and allows developers to receive crashes and improve their software in a timely manner.
Smart Crash Reports requires no Application Enhancer or similar “patching” frameworks users have to install; they operate on the InputManager mechanism that is built-in Mac OS X. Which means, only Smart Crash Reports has to be installed, and it does not require Administrator privileges.
Smart Crash Reports is completely free to use for both users and developers; The plan is Unsanity will be providing it as a service to the community.
