What's new in TidyBug.

A faster Monitor

A performance update. The Monitor tab was redrawing continuously, keeping close to a full CPU core busy whenever it was open.

Performance

• The Monitor tab uses about 12% of one core instead of up to 90%. The live indicator and the per-second numbers no longer animate, so the tab no longer redraws continuously, and the charts draw faster.
• The notch overlay and the app's panels no longer spend CPU on invisible shadows.

Fixes

• System commands that time out, used by Clean and Optimize, can no longer hang.

First public release

TidyBug finds regenerable caches, build artifacts, duplicates and forgotten installers, shows exactly what each item is and where it lives, and moves only what you approve to the Trash.

Features

• Clean checks 19 known locations (Xcode DerivedData, old iOS Device Support, simulator and package-manager caches, app caches, logs, installers, database dumps) and groups results by risk.
• Space is an interactive, hardlink-aware sunburst map of any folder, with the Collector: drag from any view or Finder, then Delete All.
• Projects finds node_modules, build, .venv, Pods, target and more, and checks each project's age and lockfile.
• Duplicates finds exact copies (SHA-256) and similar photos (Vision); one copy in every group is always kept.
• Large Files, Apps (uninstall with leftovers), Optimize (explainable maintenance) and Monitor (live system health).
• A ⌘K command palette, a menu bar companion, a notch overlay with live CPU and memory, low-space notifications and Shortcuts actions.
• Signed with Developer ID, notarized by Apple, and updated automatically with Sparkle and EdDSA signatures.
