Release notes

Every version of Tidy My Mac, newest first. The app checks for updates by itself and installs them when you agree; it needs macOS 26 Tahoe or later.

Version 1.6.2

· build 11

Changed

  • Subscribing now goes through Stripe's secure checkout, and your receipt comes from Stripe. Existing trials and promo codes work as before.

Version 1.6.1

· build 10

New

  • Redeem a promo code in Settings › Subscription.

Version 1.6.0

· build 9

New

  • Ransomware protection: decoy files and a watch for files being encrypted, and the app stops the process doing it. Off by default; turning it on explains what it needs before it asks for your password.
  • Shell Startup: shell startup files, cron jobs, PATH and code-loading variables on a page of their own, with an alert when one changes.
  • Reports: a weekly health report, and a daily report of apps and folders that grew past a limit. Each can be turned on or off, with its own notification.
  • Open at Login apps can be managed in the app, and Ask answers questions about startup items, login items and background services.
  • Junk Cleaner finds old screenshots and screen recordings, and the Dashboard offers them.
  • Security Settings lists sharing services and turns them off from the app.
  • Privacy Access removes permissions left by apps that are no longer installed.

Changed

  • Scans keep the Mac responsive.
  • Web Protection shows a notice when you allow or block a site, and marks the sites you have already allowed.
