## 项目历史与用法

timedog is a small macOS-focused command-line utility for inspecting what files were saved by an Apple Time Machine backup.

### 项目历史

The official repository describes timedog as a Perl script that displays the files saved for a given Mac OS X Time Machine backup. By default, it reports the most recent backup and includes before-and-after sizes plus total counts and sizes.

The GitHub releases API for the official repository lists v1.4 in 2017, and the Homebrew metadata in the input shows that same stable version packaged for macOS users.

### 采用历史

timedog's adoption appears narrow and macOS-specific. The input package-manager data lists Homebrew only, which is consistent with a utility aimed at Time Machine backup inspection rather than general Unix backup workflows.

### 使用方式

The tool is used after Time Machine has made a backup, when a user wants to see which files changed and how much space the backup consumed.

Its niche is diagnostic: it helps explain unexpectedly large Time Machine backups without opening a graphical backup browser.

### 为什么软件包爱好者会关心

For package nerds, timedog is notable as a single-purpose script that fills a gap in macOS's built-in backup UI. Its Homebrew formula makes that old-school admin utility installable with one command.

### 时间线

- 2017: The official GitHub repository published v1.4.
- 2026: Input metadata lists timedog as a Homebrew package with executable `timedog`.

### Related projects

- timedog is tied to Apple's Time Machine backup system rather than to a family of timedog-specific companion tools.
