I have been spending a lot of time lately tinkering with native Mac app development, and I’m releasing my first one—a small utility called Garbage Truck.
Whenever you delete an app, Garbage Truck searches for its related files and folders and asks if you’d like to remove those too. When you trash an app, it takes out all the garbage.
The app can live in the menu bar or dock, but my preference is to keep both hidden and enable Smart Delete—so it only appears when an app is actually being deleted. There’s already enough noise from other apps.
Garbage Truck displays file paths, file sizes, and a confidence level indicating how likely each file is to belongs to the app being deleted. I’ve tried to keep it focused. No more information or features than necessary.
Garbage Truck was inspired by AppCleaner and PearCleaner. I wanted to build something small and simple that would help me get comfortable with Swift and SwiftUI, while still being genuinely useful.
Let me know what you think!
