Changelog

A clearer first step when you install, and reports that help fix problems sooner. File names and paths still never leave your Mac.

Changed

• The download opens to a window that says what to do: drag Wombit to Applications
• Crash and error reports, and anonymous usage statistics, are always on now, so problems get found and fixed sooner. They never include file names, paths, your name, your Mac's name or your license key. Settings › General says what's sent, and the privacy page lists all of it
• Help › Send Feedback… writes to support@wombit.app

The System Monitor, CPU and memory in the menu bar, and fixes for crashes some of you met in 1.0. As always, everything happens on your Mac.

New

• System Monitor, free: CPU, memory, network and power at a glance, each explained in a sentence, and what every app and part of macOS uses. Spotlight, Time Machine, iCloud and the rest are named for what they do, and booted simulators show as one row. Open it with its button in the toolbar or ⌘7. It only reads; quitting a process stays with Activity Monitor
• The menu bar window shows CPU and memory under the available space. Settings › Menu Bar › Also show CPU and memory puts them in the menu bar item too
• A light and dark toggle in the toolbar. Wombit follows macOS until you use it, and View › Appearance › Match System goes back
• A new icon: the treemap wombat

Fixed

• The map could crash while a scan ran, or when one was stopped
• Crashes in table rows, and from items left over from an earlier scan
• Two rare crashes: when Docker reported a negative size, and in the cleanup log
• With keyboard navigation on, the map outlined its whole area in blue
• The alerts about growth and about what a removed app left behind showed formatting code around their counts

Changed

• The ⓘ beside Storage is gone

The first release. Everything here is on your Mac: nothing about your files leaves it.

The analyzer, free

• A whole-disk scan that counts hard links and APFS clones once, with a treemap, a sunburst and a list
• An explanation for every item the catalog knows, and a Best guess from Apple Intelligence, on your Mac, for the rest
• System Data, explained: one number split into named buckets
• Apple Data, with its own pages for backups, Messages, Mail, installers and large old files
• The space meter: available, purgeable, local snapshots and what the scan couldn't read
• The menu bar item with available space, and a daily history kept from the first day
• Undo, Put Back, Empty Trash and Cleanup History, always free
• The open command-line tool

Pro

• Cleanup from the map: light up everything that's safe to remove and review it in one go, or pick items yourself. Trash first, with a review sheet and a log
• Developer caches are cleared with the tool's own command where it has one, such as npm, uv, Go or Docker's build cache
• Apple Data actions: iPhone and iPad backups, Mail downloads, installers and large old files (Messages attachments are listed, and removed in Messages)
• Items that need an administrator, through the helper, and Time Machine's local snapshots
• The uninstaller, with what each app leaves behind and why each file belongs to it, and a watch on the Trash for apps you remove
• What Changed, showing the history the menu bar item keeps, and alerts when space runs low or something grows fast
