BloatBuster now cleans the caches your package managers keep in your home folder. Grant access to your home folder once from the home screen and BloatBuster lists them, one row per tool: npm, pnpm, Yarn, Bun, uv, pip, Cargo, Gradle, CocoaPods, Homebrew, NuGet, Composer and Dart. Every Hugging Face model and dataset you have downloaded gets its own row, and the Gradle versions a newer one has replaced are grouped apart. Sizes are what cleaning actually frees. pnpm and uv share part of their caches with your projects, so removing the cache would not give that part back, and it is not counted. On one developer Mac, uv's 54 GB cache freed 8.2 GB. Nothing else in your home folder is ever listed, and the tools you installed are left alone. Also new: • Device support copies that no Xcode on your Mac can use any more are grouped as unsupported, once every Xcode you have installed is 27 or newer • A new app icon: a stack of build output shedding its stale top layer

BloatBuster now cleans Xcode's device support folders. Every time you connect an iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Apple Watch or Vision Pro on a new OS version, Xcode copies several gigabytes of symbols off it, and it never removes the copy for the version before. A device kept up to date leaves one behind for every update. Choose the Xcode folder once from the home screen and BloatBuster lists them for every platform, with the copies that a newer one has replaced grouped apart as the pile that is safe to clear. Anything you clean comes back on its own if a device on that version connects again. From that folder BloatBuster lists device support alone, so your archives are never offered for cleaning. Also new: • An About pane in Settings with your version, macOS and Mac model, and a button to copy them into a bug report • Settings is now a sidebar of Exclusions, Workspaces and About • The results toolbar sits over the columns it belongs to, and Select shows how many projects are selected

BloatBuster now cleans Xcode's derived data. Xcode keeps a build cache for every project you have ever opened, all in one folder under your Library, and it keeps them long after the projects themselves are moved, renamed or deleted. On most developer Macs it is the largest single thing BloatBuster can reclaim. Grant access to the folder once from the home screen and every entry is listed with its size and last build date, stale ones flagged, then cleared to the Trash like everything else. Xcode's cross-project caches are grouped apart from the per-project folders, because removing those slows the next build of everything. It is the only folder BloatBuster reaches from outside a project tree, and it is reached only through a grant you give it, which covers nothing else. The interface has been rebuilt on the system's own chrome: • Dark mode. The app followed no appearance before; it now follows yours. • A real title bar and toolbar, instead of hiding both and redrawing them by hand • The results screen is a proper split view, so the sidebar, the project list and the detail pane behave the way they do in every other Mac app • The home screen states the task and lists the folders you scanned before with their paths and times, rather than filling the window with a logo • A new app icon, layered so the system can render its own dark and tinted versions Fixed: paths under your home folder are shown as ~ again, the detail pane no longer keeps a project's pre-clean size after a partial clean, two project types of equal size no longer swap places between launches, and VoiceOver now reads each row's checkbox together with its project name.

Now BloatBuster tells you what is safe to remove, not just what is big. Every artifact is labeled a dependency cache or a build output, and each project shows the command that rebuilds it, so you can see the cost before you reclaim the space. Projects untouched for 90 days are flagged as stale, which is usually where the easiest gigabytes are. Also new in this version: • A header summary of reclaimable space, how much of it is stale, how much is cache, and a lifetime total of everything you have reclaimed • Cleanup history, kept across launches • Terraform detection, bringing the total to 17 project types • Scan exclusions for folders you never want touched • Recent workspaces on the home screen, so the folders you clean often are one click away • "Show Reclaimable Space" in Spotlight and Shortcuts, which reports and never cleans • Send Feedback in the Help menu Send Feedback opens a short form on bloat-buster.mgcrea.io. BloatBuster still cannot reach the network, and this release does not change that: choosing Send Feedback hands your browser a web address and stops. The four details it fills in (app version, macOS version, Mac model and language) travel in that address, where you can read and edit them before anything is sent. No account, nothing posted publicly, and an email address is optional. Fixed: a crash when reopening a saved workspace from a Recent chip, and Jupyter checkpoint folders are no longer offered for cleaning. Support now lives at bloat-buster.mgcrea.io/support. This version requires macOS 26.

- Better support of nested projects

- Added in-app Help with shortcut, support links, and updated guidance for supported project types. S- marter project detection and artifact scanning now skips heavy cache folders, adds cancellation, and surfaces errors clearly. - Cleaning flow shows failures (if any) and a smoother, animated progress indicator. - New reusable circular progress component plus refined layout (help button moved to Home, cancel option while scanning). - Added regression tests and refreshed documentation for the GitHub repo.

- Minor tweaks

Added support for Tauri projects

- Faster scanning especially for large node_modules directories - No UI freezing during scans - Lower memory usage even with massive projects - Smoother progress bar updates

- new app icon! - better react-native projects support
