🌟 What's New in 2.3.0

🎨 macOS 27 Liquid Glass & System Integration

  • Refined Liquid Glass Design System: Fully aligned with macOS 27 HIG — chrome-focused glass navigation with glassEffectUnion pill transitions, opaque content cards for maximum readability, and specular button styles (ProminentGlassButtonStyle, SecondaryGlassButtonStyle).
  • Native Keyboard Shortcuts & Menu Bar: Instant tab switching via ⌘1–⌘8, dedicated native Settings scene via ⌘,, and quick access to Cleanup History via ⌘Y.
  • Dedicated Cleanup History Window (⌘Y): Inspect detailed past cleanup records with instant search, sorting, and category breakdown.
  • Revamped Dashboard: Redesigned "Recent Operations" widget featuring a clean horizontal card layout with quick drill-down to the complete audit journal.

🤖 Pure On-Device Apple Intelligence

  • Structured File & App Explanations: Leverages Apple's on-device FoundationModels (SystemLanguageModel) with @Generable structured verdicts ([SAFE], [CAUTION], [DANGER]) directly in uninstaller and residual sheets.
  • Streaming Token Response: Real-time streaming generation via streamSession for instant feedback without UI stutter.
  • Zero Cloud Leakage: Runs strictly local without sending file paths or metadata to Private Cloud Compute or third-party APIs.
  • System Locale Pre-Flight: Intelligent device locale detection prevents perpetual model initialization states on unsupported system languages.
  • Authenticated Siri App Intents: CleanCategoryIntent and CleanDeveloperCachesIntent now enforce biometric/system authentication (.requiresAuthentication) and explicit confirmation dialogs.

🗂️ Master-Detail Duplicate Finder & Redesigned Cleanup

  • Master-Detail Duplicate Workspace: Redesigned on HSplitView with categorized duplicate groups on the left and itemized paths on the right with middle-truncated readability.
  • High-Resolution Previews & Quick Look: Instant media previews for images and full-fidelity Quick Look (Space) integration.
  • Streamlined Cleanup View: Clean 880 pt layout featuring a 4-item base cleanup row and an expanded 2×2 parameters grid.
  • Safe Media Maintenance: Removed dangerous cloud/voice memo toggles; GarageBand/Logic and iMovie/Final Cut cleanups strictly target cache directories without touching user sound or video libraries.

🛡️ Forensic Lifecycle, Trash & Safety Engine

  • 3-Second Graceful App Quitting: Uninstallation and cleanup first issue a standard soft terminate() before enforcing a 3-second timeout for forceTerminate(), completely aborting force quit if canceled.
  • Granular Trash Control: Optional Settings toggle (emptyTrashDuringCleanup) scans and allows selective deletion of specific items within ~/.Trash, leaving unselected files and the .Trash directory itself strictly intact.
  • Deep Protection Matrix: Hardened SafetyManager with absolute refusals for iCloud Drive (Mobile Documents), Messages (chat.db), Safari/Firefox credentials, and active IDE project configurations (.vscode, .idea, .zed).
  • Intel Architecture Deprecation Badges: Flags Rosetta/Intel-only legacy apps and plugins ahead of future macOS deprecations.

⚡ Startup Services & High-Concurrency Engine

  • Direct Startup Daemon Uninstaller: Unload (launchctl bootout) and safely delete user/system LaunchAgents and LaunchDaemons straight from the app, with quick jump to Finder (showInFinder).
  • Lag-Free Process Monitoring: Chunked lazy pagination (60 processes / 30 groups) with memoized filtering eliminates UI frame drops on large process trees.
  • Non-Blocking PosixScanner: Real-time batch emission avoids memory overhead during deep recursive scans.
  • Vast Knowledge Base Expansion: Expanded to 304 applications, 92 developer toolchains, and 2,343 cataloged artifact paths.

🌍 Global Localization (14 Languages)

  • Full localization across all screens, dialogs, and menu items: English, Ukrainian, Russian, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese (BR), Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese (zh-Hant), Korean (ko), Polish (pl), and Arabic (ar with native RTL layout).
