Why do I have a feeling that any app focused on Apple products and platform are quickly featured on PH? I can't test this app because I am a Windows and Android user, so how come can I rate the app?!
Making different versions of an app for every platform is a lot of work. Not everyone has a big enough engineering team to do so.🤷‍♂️
I think the maker just decided to start with Apple - I guess he owned one. If it catches up then we will have a windows version too! ;)
looks great! any chance there are some gift codes for the community?
Can this do anything other/better than cleanmymac?

Fossils is focused on previewing your files before deciding to delete or archive them. Fossils also looks for old files but is way faster and less expensive.
cool! Thank you guys!!
Yeah, price point is a good argument but never had any speed issues with CMM...
Dat logo!
Love the clean interface! Can I achieve a complete folder/multiple folders at once?
Maker
Nope. It's just on a file by file basis. It's difficult to preview a whole folder. Fossils is all about deciding to archive or delete a file based on the contents, not just its filename.
Is there any way to test this out before purchasing?

A very useful tool (if you use CC cleaner you will love this tool) that helps you get rid of all unnecessary files.

Pros:

Easy to use

Cons:

Non that I can think of

Brilliant name
What does it mean to "archive" something? Does it get moved to a specific folder/location? Does it get compressed? Thank you!
Maker
Archive means moving to another folder. It’s main purpose is to move stuff of your local drive to Cloud storage or a NAS.
