Major Update: Deep Forensic Uninstaller with Residual Verification, Project Build Artifacts Manager with Age Filters, Overhauled Disk Space Analyzer with APFS Allocated Sizing, and Massive Knowledge Base Expansion for 2026 Developer & AI Ecosystems.

🌟 What's New in 2.2.0

🔍 Forensic Residuals & Orphan Cleaning

  • Post-Uninstall Verification Sheet: Inspect and review remnants immediately after removing an application, with granular checkbox control and evidence trails.
  • Dedicated Orphan Scanner: Detect orphaned files left behind by previously uninstalled apps, organized into three confidence tiers (Guaranteed, Very Likely, Possible) with detailed evidence cards.
  • Expanded Application Knowledge Base: Detection engine now catalogs over 275+ macOS applications and 1,880+ artifact locations (including Ghostty, Zen Browser, Dia, Ice, BetterDisplay, Dropover, AeroSpace, Yabai, Affinity Suite v2, OBS Studio, and HandBrake).

🛠️ Developer & AI Ecosystem Support

  • Modern AI Toolchains & Agent Artifacts: Safe discovery and maintenance for Claude Code CLI, Goose AI, Continue.dev, Superwhisper, WhisperKit, Ollama, Apple MLX, and Hugging Face.
  • Next-Gen Package Managers & Runtimes: Out-of-the-box support for uv, mise, proto, Tuist, CocoaPods, Zig/ZLS, vcpkg, Conan, Gradle, and Maven.
  • Project Build Artifacts Isolation: Project-local caches (target, build, node_modules, .venv) are separated into a dedicated review category with configurable mtime age filtering (30, 60, 90, 180 days in Settings).

📊 Re-Engineered Disk Space Analyzer

  • Interactive Directory Tree & Breadcrumbs: Navigate subfolders with instant drill-down and clickable breadcrumb navigation.
  • Accurate APFS Block Sizing: Uses totalFileAllocatedSize to report actual physical disk usage without distortion from APFS copy-on-write clones or sparse files.
  • Native Quick Look Integration: Preview any file directly with Space or the eye icon.
  • iCloud Dataless Item Protection: Automatically skips dataless / cloud-only items to prevent accidental background downloads.

🛡️ System Hygiene & Safety Refinements

  • Smart Time Machine Thinning: Replaced full snapshot deletion with graceful thinlocalsnapshots optimization based on reclaimable space.
  • Privileged DNS Flush: Robust cache flushing using native PrivilegedTaskRunner.
  • macOS 27 Interface Polish: Refined Liquid Glass materials, improved content contrast, and full keyboard navigation support (⌘,, ⌘C, ⌘F, ⌘R, ⌘⌫).
  • Complete 10-Language Localization: Updated strings across English, Russian, Ukrainian, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese (BR), and Simplified Chinese.
