GUI Client ?

Just wondering if anyone knew about a decent GUI client for BOINC for OSX ?

I used to run S@H and F@H with native clients on the Mac, and CP and the Grid.Org clients on my PeeCee.

Now with BOINC on the Mac for all of them I thought it would be neat to swap to OSX with a pretty GUI client... but it's not a priority it seems.

My wish list for the client would be;
- minimal footprint (of course !)
- ability to kill the GUI but leave the engine running
- ability to subscribe to multiple projects and when a work unit is sent the next work unit is downloaded from the next project in sequence (either random, sequence or based on time allocated to the projects to keep it fair)
- auto update the CLI engine when new versions are available (generic or optimised for the Mac in question as available)

I'm using a fairly good GUI for Seti@Home but that's all it supports

None of the other projects have a GUI, or the ability to 'play nice' - which is something I love about the grid.org client (multiple clients, and it processes them based on available work etc)
