Hi. Could you please show the output of myAppNap.py when you focus on the photo app and Trello? As in, does it print the name in your language or in English?

The second issue is already fixed in PRs #4 and/or #7, just a simple case of converting the output of pgrep to ints.

It would also help if you placed the output of your terminal in code blocks 😃. Like this:

~/workspace/MyAppNap> /usr/bin/python myAppNap.py Zdjęcia
Invalid app name, will not suspend/resume anything
Will monitor apps in focus, switch to your desired app to see valid name

myAppNap.py:53: UnicodeWarning: Unicode equal comparison failed to convert both arguments to Unicode - interpreting them as being unequal

Ah, I've diagnosed the issue. We need to convert from bytes to UTF-8 strings.

I've tried fixing it in commit ac6a396 on my fork. Could you try what you've tried on this version on my fork?
