Boost v1.3.0

What's new in 1.3.0

• Large Files tab. Lists the biggest single files in Downloads, Desktop, Documents, Movies, Music and Pictures, with how long since you last opened each. It scans only when you press Scan, so macOS asks for folder access when you choose to. Folders, app bundles and photo libraries are never listed, nothing is ticked, and anything you remove goes to the Trash.
• History hint. Boost only records while it is open. When it has little history, the History card now offers Start at login.

Fixes found in a code review of 1.2:

• Auto-pause no longer freezes an app that is playing audio, on a call or downloading.
• An auto-paused app is woken correctly when you switch back to it quickly, and an app left frozen across a relaunch wakes when you switch to it.
• Pausing an app can no longer freeze Boost itself when Boost was started from that app's terminal.
• Quitting Boost resumes only what Boost froze. It no longer wakes jobs you stopped yourself.
• Projects refuses a scan folder that contains your home folder, skips app and framework bundles, and counts recent edits to your source files as activity.
• Uninstall refuses helper apps nested inside another app, and leaves a leftover folder unticked when another installed app has the same name.

Install

brew install --cask kernel-hunter/boost/boost

Or download Boost.zip below and drag it to Applications.

Boost is not notarized. It is signed with a local certificate, so a direct download is stopped by Gatekeeper the first time. Homebrew handles that for you. If you downloaded the zip by hand, right-click the app and choose Open. Building from source avoids the question:

git clone https://github.com/Kernel-Hunter/boost.git
cd boost && ./Scripts/build.sh
