Questions people ask before buying

Will it delete something I needed?

It shows you the list first, with a size and a description beside every item, and deletes nothing until you press the button. Items go to the Trash where the operating system allows it, so an honest mistake is recoverable. Secure Wipe is the one tool that does not work that way, and it says so loudly.

Does it need a kernel extension?

No. It runs as a normal app with the permissions you grant it. Why that matters

What does it send about me?

Your files never leave this Mac. There is no analytics and no account. The full list of connections is on one page, with hostnames.

Can I use it on more than one Mac?

A licence is activated per machine and can be moved. If you need several, get in touch before buying rather than after.

What if it does not do what I hoped?

That is what the fifteen days are for. If you paid and it was not right, see the refund policy.
