MacSweep 1.2.0

New design

• Smart Scan home, Dashboard, sidebar and notch panels redesigned (notch AI and Clean charts).
• Security Audit with a protection score, protection cards (turn the Firewall on in one click), recommendations and a Secure / N issues badge in the sidebar.
• Malware Scan with Quick, Full and Deep scans, scan history and Apple XProtect definition status.

Protection

• Download Protection now logs the last 20 downloads with where they came from, who signed them and the verdict.
• Clearer quarantine with restore and delete.
• Far fewer false positives on installed apps; flagged items explain why.

Storage

• Pick items from any folder in the treemap and clean them together.
• Cleanup script uses each tool's own clean command; review-first items stay commented out.
• Recommendations show how much they grew since the last scan.

Lighter

• Large scans keep memory flat; live process sampling only runs on pages that show it.
• Claude plan limits read the Keychain once per launch and respect Deny.

Install: drag MacSweep to Applications. It's ad-hoc signed, so the first launch needs right-click → Open, or xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/MacSweep.app. Requires macOS 15+ on Apple Silicon.
