Hi Product Hunt, I'm John from Itch Studio, a small studio in the UK. TrailSift started when I looked at what my own Mac had kept. The download log went back to February 2025, 952 downloads with the address of each. Every downloaded file still carried its address in Get Info. My Mac remembered 189 Wi-Fi networks, Mail remembered people I'd long since deleted from Contacts, and folders from apps I'd removed years ago were still there. Clearing browser history touched none of it, and neither did private browsing. TrailSift checks more than 30 of these places and shows you what's in each, reading only. The audit is free. Pro clears what you choose after a full preview: files go to the Trash and databases are backed up for a week first. A few things I cared about: - Nothing leaves your Mac. No account, no analytics. - The audit script is open source (MIT), so you can see exactly what it reads. - It's a one-off payment, not a subscription. New in 1.3: Remove an App with everything it keeps, Photo Locations to share photos without where they were taken, and a Hand Over This Mac checklist for selling or passing on a Mac. And since 1.3.1 it speaks German, French, Spanish and Japanese as well as English. For launch, the code PRODUCTHUNT takes Pro to £5, $7 or €6 (usually £15), until 19 January. I'd love to hear what it finds on your Mac, and what you'd like it to check next.
