Changelog
Every release, what changed, and why.
1.0.3
20 August 2026.
- The System Data pane no longer overstates what it measures. It claimed to show everything macOS files under System Data. On a Mac where Storage settings reports 129 GB, the pane measures 225 GB, because Xcode's folders count as Developer, mail counts as Mail, and app containers count under Applications. Storage settings hides all of them equally, and the pane now says that instead of borrowing Apple's figure.
1.0.2
20 August 2026.
- The System Data ring draws itself again. It animated in from nothing, and on some launches that animation never ran, leaving an empty circle with the total in the middle until you clicked a category.
- What can go, and what macOS needs, now stays on screen. That split sat below the chart and scrolled out of sight, which made the sidebar figure look like it disagreed with the total in the title.
1.0.1
19 August 2026.
- App data is no longer labelled safe to remove. Application Support, Containers and Group Containers hold what your apps actually store: message history, logins, local databases. They now read Review first. Emptying a WhatsApp group container loses the chats, and the app used to say nothing about it.
- Safe now means one thing. Only what an app rebuilds by itself keeps the green label: caches, package-manager caches, logs, temp files, diagnostics, saved state.
- Cookie storage and unclassified library data ask for a second look too. Clearing cookies signs you out of websites.
- Clearer explanations for the three container categories, so the description and the label agree on what removal costs.
1.0.0
19 August 2026. First public release.
- Smart Scan finds Xcode caches, unused simulator runtimes, iPhone backups, Docker data, logs and browser junk in one pass.
- Duplicate Finder matches file contents with SHA-256 instead of guessing from filenames.
- Large Files sorts a folder by what is actually taking the space.
- App Uninstaller removes an app plus the preferences, caches and containers it leaves behind.
- Privacy Cleaner clears browser history, cookies, recents and the quarantine database.
- System Data breaks the grey bar in About This Mac down by category, with an explanation of what each one is and what recreates it.
- Storage shows a disk usage breakdown and your scan history.
- Trash shows size, item count, and an Empty button in the sidebar, since Decruft moves things to the Trash rather than deleting them.
- Menu bar item shows free space at a glance, and runs a scan without opening the window.
- Everything found is moved to the Trash, never deleted outright, and a default-deny guard refuses to touch mail, keychains, iCloud Drive or preferences.
