Projektgeschichte

AppCleaner was developed by FreeMacSoft as a focused graphical uninstaller for macOS. Its official release record documents a 2.x line supporting older OS X releases and a redesigned 3.x generation introduced in 2015.

Adoptionsgeschichte

FreeMacSoft has supplied separate AppCleaner builds for multiple generations of macOS, from Snow Leopard-era systems through current releases. The 3.x line successively added modern macOS compatibility, localizations, Dark Mode, Apple Silicon support, and safer handling of protected or locked files.

Wie es verwendet wird

Users drag an application into AppCleaner or select it from the app list, review the related files found across the system, and confirm deletion. SmartDelete can detect applications moved to the Trash and offer associated-file cleanup.

Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren

AppCleaner is a long-lived example of the Mac uninstaller utility: it accounts for the preference files, caches, and support data that remain when an application bundle is merely dragged to the Trash. Its small, single-purpose design makes it a familiar complement to cask-based application installation.
