Fussel 1.1.7

Less fluff, more Mac.
Fussel can sit in your Dock now, and the sidebar glides in one piece.

Fussel scanning, then cleaning up

What's new

  • In the Dock, if you like: turn on Show Fussel in the Dock in Settings, and Fussel shows up in the Dock next to your other apps. Click it to open the window. Fussel stays in the menu bar too, and it remembers your choice
  • The sidebar glides in one piece: when you show or hide the sidebar (⌃⌘S), its dividing line now slides along with it instead of staying behind

Safety first

Everything Fussel cleans goes to the Trash first, and Undo puts it right back. Only items that are already in the Trash are deleted for good, and Fussel asks before doing that. System files, Apple apps and your main folders are never touched, and nothing marked Review First is ever picked for you. Nothing inside your Photos, Music or iMovie library is ever touched either. 32 automatic tests guard these rules on every build.

Install

Recommended: the installer

  1. Download Fussel-Installer.zip below. Your Mac unpacks it to Fussel-Installer.pkg; open that.
  2. Fussel isn't signed with an Apple Developer ID yet, so macOS blocks it at first. Open System Settings › Privacy & Security, scroll down and click Open Anyway next to the Fussel installer.
  3. Click through the installer. Fussel lands in your Applications folder and appears in the menu bar, next to the clock.
  4. Recommended: allow Full Disk Access in System Settings › Privacy & Security, so Fussel can reach the Trash and every hidden cache.

Already using Fussel? On 0.9.8 or later, just click Update Now. Older versions: install this one by hand once with the installer.

Or: drag and drop

Open Fussel.dmg and drag Fussel onto the Applications folder. Before the first launch, run this once in Terminal:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Fussel.app

Requires macOS 14 Sonoma or later. Runs natively on Apple Silicon and Intel. The Glass cards need macOS 26; earlier versions get frosted glass.

Good to know

  • Undo works as long as the items are still in the Trash.
  • Found something odd? Send Feedback in Fussel's menu opens a GitHub issue, already filled in with your Fussel and macOS version. Screenshots help a lot.
