  • AppCleaner

    Presentation
    AppCleaner is a small application which allows you to completely and properly uninstall unwanted apps.
    It isn't, in fact, sufficient to just delete an application. Installing an application distributes many files throughout your System using space of your Hard Drive unnecessarily.
    AppCleaner can find all these small files and safely delete them.
    The toolbar has the following useful features.
    Drop an application onto the AppCleaner icon and AppCleaner searches for the related files and then by clicking the red cross it deletes them.
    If you change your mind, just click on the green arrow back button.
    The "Applications" button shows all the applications installed on your system. You can select them and then click on the magnifying glass search button. AppCleaner will search for the related files of the selected applications and delete them, too.
    The "Widgets" button shows all the installed widgets and the "Others" button displays all the installed Preference Panes, Plugins and Screen Savers.

We want you to spend your time using your applications, not keeping them up to date!

    AppFresh not only gets update information from iusethis.com. If you have an user profile at iusethis.com you can manage it from within AppFresh and control which applicationsit contains, even automatically. Using your iusethis profile also enables you to install applications you don't have on your computer. This comes in handy when you need to reinstall your computer and want your basic set of applications installed. Using AppFresh and an up to date iusethis profile makes this an easy task.

    AppFresh is still work in progress, so please help us making it better. Contact us or check back at our development blog.
