Description

Now that the app has switched orgs, the name of the author for the privileged helper should probably reflect that :)

More details:
When I installed via homebrew, after I authorized to set up the privileged helper, the notification I saw pop up in the top-right said that I was allowing background tasks to happen for something that was associated with Robots and Pencils.
