What's new in 1.3.1

  • Copy Report. A button in the menu bar popover copies a plain text summary for a bug report or a forum thread: your Mac, memory pressure, swap, the biggest apps and the last day's peak. It lists app names and sizes only, with no file paths or user name, and nothing is sent anywhere.
  • Large Files fixes. Music and TV library folders are never listed or trashed, so a track can no longer vanish from those apps. Each folder gets its own share of the scan, and the notice names any folder that ran out. Trashing every file in a long list now rescans instead of saying nothing was found. A personal folder that links outside your home folder is refused.
  • The memory report says which processes it leaves out, and the screenshot tool no longer changes your preferences.

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
