v1.1.0

What's new in 1.1.0

Navigate and search your scan

• Back / forward navigation through the folders you visit (Cmd+[ / Cmd+], or Ctrl on Linux/Windows), with a breadcrumb trail.
• Whole-scan search — find any file or folder by name and jump straight to it in the treemap.
• List view as an alternative to the treemap: sortable by name, items, or size; double-click to drill in. Your view and sort choices are remembered.
• Right-click context menu on treemap tiles: open, reveal, copy path, focus.

Easier scanning

• Drag & drop a folder anywhere on the window to scan it.
• One calm scan card on the landing screen: quick picks (Home, Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Applications, mounted volumes, entire disk), a recent-scans menu, and the current target in one place.
• The scanner now survives extremely deep trees, reports folders it couldn't read (instead of silently under-counting), and shows both on-disk and apparent sizes.

A friendlier settings screen

• Redesigned two-pane settings (AI assistant / Privacy / About) — open it from anywhere with Cmd+, (Ctrl+, on Linux/Windows).
• Opening settings no longer triggers a macOS keychain password prompt. The key is only read when you actually run a connection test or analysis.
• Settings now say clearly whether an API key is saved, and let you remove it.
• Your model and base URL are remembered per provider — switching providers never wipes them. Fields are saved however you close the dialog.
• Check for updates is one click away in the settings sidebar.

Cross-platform

• The macOS DMG is a universal binary (Apple silicon + Intel), enforced in CI.
• New Linux arm64 and Windows arm64 builds (Raspberry Pi 5, Ampere, Snapdragon X, …).
• Windows: opening files from the app now uses your default handler correctly.

Polish

• Seamless macOS title bar and themed menus and popups throughout.

Install

macOS (universal — Apple silicon + Intel)

Easiest via Homebrew (no Gatekeeper hoops):

brew install --cask MS-Teja/clean-mind/clean-mind

Or download the DMG, open it, drag Clean Mind to Applications. One DMG covers both Apple silicon and Intel Macs.

This free app is not notarized (there is no paid Apple Developer account behind it), so the first launch needs one extra step:

• macOS 15 (Sequoia) and later: open the app once (it will be blocked), then go to System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down to "Clean Mind" was blocked, and click Open Anyway.
• macOS 14 and earlier: right-click the app in Applications and choose Open, then Open again.
• Terminal alternative: xattr -d com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/Clean Mind.app"

Linux (experimental)

Pick the tarball for your CPU — linux-x64 (Intel/AMD) or linux-arm64 (Raspberry Pi 5, Ampere, Apple-silicon VMs). Extract it, then either run ./clean-mind/clean_mind directly or run ./clean-mind/install.sh to install it for your user (launcher entry + icon, no root needed). Requires GTK 3.

Windows (experimental)

Pick the zip for your CPU — windows-x64 (Intel/AMD) or windows-arm64 (Snapdragon X and other Arm PCs). Extract it and run clean_mind.exe. If SmartScreen warns, click More info → Run anyway.

Linux and Windows builds compile and pass tests in CI but have had less real-world testing than macOS — issue reports are very welcome.
