Reclaim 1.2.0

Reclaim 1.2.0 — the biggest update yet. Apple Silicon · macOS 14+ · notarized by Apple · free.

New

• AI explanations (bring your own key). Connect your own OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google key and a ✨ button appears next to items in Scan and My Mac — click it to ask "What is this, and is it safe to delete?" Grounded in the real details of the item; your key stays in the macOS Keychain and requests go straight to your provider.
• Supported-CLI cleanup adapters. Where it can, Reclaim now cleans with the tool's own commands (npm, brew, pip, and more) instead of raw deletion.
• Quit-app-and-clean. Reclaim can close a running app first, then clear its cache safely.
• My Mac drill-in: expandable folders, and everything in the browser is now removable to quarantine.

Fixed

• AI popup now opens correctly from the My Mac drill-in.

Everything still goes to a reversible quarantine, sorted into the 5-tier safety model. Nothing is deleted until you say so.

Reclaim 1.1.1

Reclaim 1.1.1 — reliability fixes for cleanup & restore.

• Cleanup now handles files owned by the system or created via sudo — they're clearly marked "needs admin" instead of silently failing.
• Protected macOS folders (like ~/Library/Logs) are cleaned by clearing their contents to the reversible quarantine, rather than failing to move the whole folder.
• Quarantine now shows exactly what's inside each batch, and Restore reliably puts items back.
• Every cleanup reports an honest summary (what moved, what couldn't, and why) — no more silent failures or confusing empty entries.

Requires macOS 14+ on Apple Silicon. Notarized by Apple.

Reclaim 1.1.0

Reclaim 1.1.0 — a big step up from 1.0.

New

• My Mac — browse your entire disk: every category drills in with size/age filters, bulk-select, and send to the reversible quarantine. Photos & videos are gathered from everywhere on your Mac (not just one folder).
• Duplicate finder — byte-identical photos, videos, and downloads grouped together; keep the newest, reclaim the rest.
• Full storage breakdown — the old opaque "System" bucket is now itemized (Protected Data, macOS System, update files, virtual memory), reconciled exactly to your real disk usage.
• History — a running timeline of everything you've reclaimed.
• Full Disk Access guidance — a clear prompt so the scan can see (and clean) everything.
• Smoother scan progress, a shareable "GB reclaimed" card, and expanded cleanup coverage (80 recipes).

Reclaim 1.0.2

Reclaim 1.0.2 — see everything on your Mac, not just what's removable.

New: the "My Mac" tab

A complete, honest picture of where your storage actually goes — apps, photos, documents, developer caches, system files, and more. It walks your whole disk and reconciles exactly to your real used space (it matches About This Mac), with a clearly-labeled "macOS System & Snapshots" slice for the sealed system volume and snapshots no app can reclaim. Read-only — a companion to the Scan tab.

New: Full Disk Access guidance

Reclaim now detects when Full Disk Access is off and nudges you to grant it — with a banner and a sidebar hint — because it makes both storage showing and saving accurate. One click opens the right Settings pane; Reclaim re-checks automatically when you switch back.

Reclaim 1.0.0

Reclaim 1.0.0 — the first public release.

Understand every gigabyte on your Mac. One scan finds hidden waste from your dev tools (Cursor, Xcode, npm, Docker, Homebrew, Ollama…), leftovers from apps you've uninstalled, and personal pile-ups — explains each finding in plain language, and recovers the space safely and reversibly.
