Hello, Eric.
Thank you for contacting us. This certainly should not happen
frequently, and you are the first user I remember reporting this happening on an iOS device.
To see when Smarky was active, you can launch Smarky and click in the menu:
Smarky >
Logs. However, even if Smarky was active at e time in question, it may have acting appropriately. This is because there are 3 actors — Safari, iCloud and Smarky, all watching and possibly changing your Safari bookmarks file. When one of them touches the file, the other two react by looking for changes. So it is difficult to determine
who started it.
Normally, those logs should indicate several dozen entries, spanning over a period of several minutes, any time that you change any bookmark in either Safari (Mac or iPad). At other times, those logs should have no entries. If those logs indicate that Smarky is being active constantly whenever you are logged in to your Mac, something is indeed wrong.
If you see such constant activity, launch
Applications >
Utilities >
Activity Monitor and type
SafariDAV into the filter field at the top. Put the window of to the corner of your screen so you can keep an eye on it while you do other stuff. Whenever you see
SafariDAVClient pop into the list, it means that iCloud is busy syncing your bookmarks.
If
SafariDAVClient seems to be unnecessarily active, switch off Syncing in Smarky and see if that "fixes" it.
Hmmm , this post is becoming a
TLDNR. Tell us what you find and we shall go further.
