Everybody loves the drag and drop nature of OS X. Drag an app into your applications folder, and it’s installed. You’d think it would be that easy to delete an app — just a matter of dragging it to the trash. But it’s not. Applications install preferences, caches, and other support files throughout your computer that take up space and generate clutter. Deleting these by hand every time you delete an app is a pain.

AppZapper is for people who want to confidently try new apps while knowing they can uninstall them easily. Drag one or more unwanted apps onto AppZapper and watch as it finds all the extra files and lets you delete them with a single click. A slick safety system remembers which apps you want to keep safe, and the log tracks all the files you’ve zapped. In one Zap you’ll understand it. In two you’ll fall in love. Within the five free Zaps, you’ll know you need to add AppZapper to your arsenal.

One Cool App!

This is a really cool app and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who owns a Mac. This app is updated almost weekly with new features. It’s the best $12.95 you’ll ever spend. If you’re a Windows user, you’ll by no doubt have (bad) memories of the Add/Remove programs and the system registry. This is a bottomless pit where nothing ever really leaves, it just gets moved around. AppZapper is a refreshing change and is the solution to all your “removing” needs.
