Applications

Every app, with its real footprint and its real habits.

The bundle plus every cache, container, preference and log it left behind, and a day of its CPU and memory so you can see which app was busy at 3 am. Two more tabs list the apps with updates waiting and everything that starts at login, with a switch on each.

  • Uninstall Completely takes the whole set, not just the icon
  • Activity, last 24 hours: peaks, busiest moments, CPU time, disk I/O
  • Updates from the app's own feed or Homebrew; login items and agents you can switch off

How it works

01

The real footprint

The app itself plus every cache, container, preference, log and support folder it made, added up, so you see what an app really costs.

02

Uninstall completely

Remove the app and everything it left behind in one go, to the Trash. Leftovers from apps you already deleted are listed too.

03

Its last 24 hours

CPU and memory through the day, the busiest moments, the network hosts it talks to and the files it has open, so you can see which app was busy at 3 am.

04

Updates and startup

Apps with a newer version waiting, from the app's own update feed or Homebrew, and everything that opens at login or runs in the background, with a switch on each.

DiskBuddy Applications Updates tab listing apps with newer versions available.
Updates: apps with a newer version waiting, from their own feed or from Homebrew.
DiskBuddy Applications Startup tab listing login items and background agents with switches.
Startup: what opens at login and what runs in the background, each with a switch.

Questions about Applications

Does dragging an app to the Trash remove it completely?+

No. Most apps leave caches, preferences and support folders in your Library. DiskBuddy finds and removes those along with the app.

Where does the update information come from?+

From the update feed each app names itself, and from Homebrew for apps installed that way. DiskBuddy does not install updates behind your back.

Can I stop apps opening at login?+

Yes. The Startup tab lists login items and background agents, each with a switch to turn it off.
