MacCleaner 0.2.8

MacCleaner 0.2.8

Developer ID signed + notarized.

Critical fix

Previous 0.2.5–0.2.7 installers could ship a stale binary (old SwiftPM cache path), so the app looked outdated even with a new version number.

0.2.8 packages the real current build:

• Duplicate Finder, Similar Photos, Schedule in the sidebar
• PureMac-style uninstall + FDA onboarding
• Install to /Applications only

Install

1. Download the DMG and replace /Applications/MacCleaner.app
2. Open from Applications (remove old Dock icon if needed)
3. Settings should show MacCleaner 0.2.8 (10)

MacCleaner 0.2.7

MacCleaner 0.2.7

Developer ID signed + notarized.

Fixes

• Install always goes to /Applications (no more stale ~/Applications copy)
• Quit old instances + clear single-instance lock before install
• Prefer /Applications when reactivating an existing instance
• Settings shows MacCleaner 0.2.7 (9) so you can verify the build

Install

1. Download the DMG
2. Drag to Applications (replace if asked)
3. If Dock opens an old copy: Remove from Dock, then reopen from Applications

Homebrew: brew upgrade --cask maccleaner

MacCleaner 0.2.6

1. Download the DMG
2. Drag MacCleaner to Applications
3. Open — Gatekeeper should accept without workarounds

Homebrew: brew upgrade --cask maccleaner (after tap update)
