Releases: gostonx/uninstally
Release list
Uninstally 1.7.3
Fixed
- Native macOS UI materials — fixed a bug where translucent sidebar, cards,
and toolbar would render as opaque blocks (losing the floating native look)
when the activation policy changed after window creation. The preference is
now applied before the window is drawn, preserving the correct compositing
regardless of Dock icon preference.
Uninstally 1.7.2
Added
- Complete localization in 10 languages: English, Italian, Spanish, French,
German, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese.
Language switching in Settings with restart flow; all 400+ user-facing strings
translated. - Safety Score — real scoring engine on the Uninstall Simulation screen that
analyzes the deletion plan and shows Safe to Remove / Review Recommended / High
Risk with expandable details. - App Details Inspector — a Finder Get Info-style panel showing version,
dates, installation source, storage breakdown, and per-file explanations. - Installation Source detection — detects Homebrew Cask, Mac App Store, DMG,
and PKG installations. Sidebar filter sections for each source. - Update prompt — a native popup appears on launch when a new GitHub release
is available, showing release notes and an Update Now button. - Onboarding — 4-page walkthrough on first launch (what Uninstally does,
permissions, Trash vs Permanent, open source). - History export — export uninstall history as a text file.
- Batch restore — select multiple entries in Recently Uninstalled and restore
all at once. - App size change detection — shows size deltas (+850 MB / -120 MB) in both
grid and list after rescaning. - Homebrew reinstall — reinstall removed Homebrew apps from history.
- Custom scan paths — add extra directories via UserDefaults to scan beyond
/Applications. - Self-uninstall warning — SafetyScore warns when you are removing Uninstally
itself. - Keyboard shortcut — ⌘I opens the App Inspector from the context menu.

breakdown, and 5 focused summary cards. - Sort menu fixed — replaced nested Picker-in-Menu with flat Buttons to
eliminate hover-dismiss glitches.

Uninstally 1.5.0
Added
- Recently Uninstalled — a new sidebar section showing an uninstall history of
apps you removed with Uninstally (with a live count). Stored locally with
SwiftData; nothing is uploaded and no analytics are collected.- Each entry records the app name, icon, developer, version, bundle identifier,
original location, date/time, files removed, storage recovered, and deletion
method (Trash or Permanent). - Statistics at the top: total apps uninstalled, total storage recovered,
last uninstall, and average space recovered. - Search by app name, developer or bundle identifier, and filters for
Today, Last 7 Days, Last 30 Days, All Time, Trash, and Permanent Delete. - Actions: Restore from Trash (when the item is still in the Trash), View
Details, Reveal Original Location, Remove From History, and Clear History. - Hide or show the section from the sidebar customization.
- Each entry records the app name, icon, developer, version, bundle identifier,
- History settings — Keep Uninstall History (on by default), History Retention
(30 Days / 90 Days / 1 Year / Forever), and Clear History.
Uninstally 1.4.5
Added
- Uninstall behavior setting — choose how removed files are disposed of:
Move to Trash (default, recoverable) or Permanently Delete. The choice
is shown clearly in the confirmation ("…move this app and N related files to
Trash" vs. a permanent-delete warning with a Delete Permanently button) and
is remembered across launches.
Changed
- Native macOS redesign. A titled window with a unified toolbar, translucent
window materials, native button and list styles, a Finder-style floating
sidebar, native grouped Settings sections, and the system typography hierarchy —
so Uninstally feels at home next to Finder and System Settings. - About now shows a direct link to codenta.us.
Fixed
- Instant UI after uninstalling. Removing an app no longer triggers a full
rescan of every installed application, so the removed app disappears
immediately with a smooth animation (optimistic in-memory update, then a
Finder-sync nudge) instead of lingering for several seconds.
Removed
- Haptic feedback has been removed entirely. macOS doesn't offer reliable,
general-purpose haptics for this kind of app, so the feature and its Settings
toggle are gone. The now-empty General settings section was removed too.
Uninstally 1.4.4
Changed
- The Settings sidebar now stays visible and can no longer be collapsed, so
the section list is always available while browsing preferences.
Uninstally 1.4.3
Added
- Rename Collections from the sidebar — right-click any Collection and choose
Rename… (renaming is also still available in the Customize Sidebar sheet).
Uninstally 1.4.2
Added
-
Collections — create your own tabs in the main sidebar to group and
categorize apps.Collections are great for trying out apps you plan to remove later: when you
download something to test, drop it into a "Trying Out" (or "To Delete")
Collection so it doesn't get lost among your everyday apps. When you're done
evaluating, open that Collection and uninstall the app — along with all its
leftover files — in a couple of clicks. Other handy uses: grouping a project's
tools, games, or apps you're deciding whether to keep.Add apps by dragging them onto a Collection or right-clicking an app →
Add to Collection. Rename, pick an icon, reorder and delete Collections from
the Customize Sidebar sheet. Collections are organizational only and never
change what's installed; they persist across launches.
Changed
- Sidebar customization now lives in the main application window (not
Settings). Settings is a single, fixed page again.
