Purge v1.1.0
What's new in Purge v1.1.0:
-
All-new onboarding: First launch now walks you through permissions, background preferences, and your first scan in a clean full-screen flow. You'll see exactly what Purge found and clean it right from setup.
-
Smarter scanning: The app no longer freezes during scans. Scanning now runs entirely in the background with a dedicated loading screen, rotating tips, and a progress bar. Results appear instantly when the scan completes.
-
Duplicate entries fixed: Apps with cache files in multiple locations (like Arc/Dia) now appear as a single combined row with the total size, instead of confusing duplicate entries.
-
AI identification removed: Purge no longer uses AI to identify unknown cache folders. In practice, AI identification was slow, inconsistent, and occasionally misclassified folders, creating false confidence in results that weren't always accurate. Everything Purge shows you is now backed by a hand-curated local database of known cache folders, which means faster scans, more reliable safety tags, and no network calls. If a folder isn't in the database, Purge leaves it alone rather than guessing.
