Release list
v1.1.9
Adds Automatic Cleanup — optional, off by default. When turned on in Settings, Desktop Cleaner checks free disk space and memory usage every 10 minutes:
- Free space below your threshold: automatically cleans the same regenerable caches and logs "Clean All Safe Items" would — Trash-based, never a password.
- Memory usage above your threshold: sends a notification only. Freeing memory always needs your administrator password, so it's never triggered automatically.
Every automatic action is logged (visible in Settings) and announced with a notification — nothing happens silently.
v1.1.8
Excluded Paths now supports adding several paths at once — the folder picker allows multi-select, and the typed field accepts a comma-separated list.
Large Files and Duplicates can now optionally also search attached external volumes (opt-in, off by default), not just the home folder. Network shares are never included.
v1.1.7
v1.1.6
Fixes a real safety gap in Smart Scan's one-click cleanup, plus two Full-Disk-Access-related permission-prompt bugs (Apple Music, Photos Library) that could unexpectedly interrupt a scan.
- Smart Scan's "Clean All Safe Items" no longer bundles in "Leftovers From Uninstalled Apps" without review — it now shows as its own review step, consistent with how Storage already treats that category.
- Fixed a regression where scanning without Full Disk Access could trigger an unexpected "Allow access to your music library?" prompt.
- Fixed the same class of bug for Photos Library.
Desktop Cleaner 1.1.5
Large Files and Duplicates now update live: when you move something to Trash, it disappears from the list the instant it's actually gone, instead of waiting for a full re-scan of your home folder afterward.
Desktop Cleaner 1.1.4
Crash reporting now works end to end. If you opt in to sending a crash report from the in-app prompt or Settings → Diagnostics, it actually reaches us now — previously it just showed you the report with no real destination behind it.
Desktop Cleaner 1.1.3
More accurate error messages when a clean/uninstall action fails with a permission error. Instead of one generic message, the app now tells you exactly what's going on: a real Full Disk Access gap gets a working "Grant Full Disk Access" button, a not-yet-downloaded iCloud file gets "Show in Finder" when that would actually work, and a file inside another app's iCloud backup names that app directly since nothing else can remove it.
Desktop Cleaner 1.1.2
Licensing is temporarily free while payment setup is finished — clean and uninstall actions work for everyone again, with no paywall blocking the way.
Desktop Cleaner 1.1.1
Menu bar icon is now a proper template glyph (no more generic memory-chip icon with a fuchsia background). Fixed Large Files and Duplicates unexpectedly prompting for Apple Music library access — neither ever needed it; that's now excluded from the scan.
Desktop Cleaner 1.1.0
Menu bar now shows Storage alongside Memory (and a layout bug in the dropdown is fixed). VoiceOver navigation-order improvements across list views. Light-mode contrast and keyboard-shortcut polish.
