Application discovery
Scan user and system applications using macOS Launch Services and Spotlight.
Features
Expunge makes every step visible before an app or its related files move to Trash.
Scan user and system applications using macOS Launch Services and Spotlight.
Review preferences, caches, application support, and saved state with category, path, and size.
Protected apps stay protected. Restricted Apple software gets an additional confirmation.
Use the native app or inspect results from the terminal as readable text or JSON.
Results show each related path and group it by purpose. Turn off anything you want to keep. Removals go to macOS Trash so they remain recoverable.
Scans in protected locations can be incomplete without Full Disk Access. Expunge labels its results as best effort when macOS limits access.
