macOS app cleanup and uninstaller utilities

These are macOS utilities focused on removing leftover files from uninstalled apps, cleaning caches, preferences, logs, and fully uninstalling applications, often with large and duplicate file detection. The dated entry history before the index start includes only two entries, too thin to read a shape from; the cluster predates the index or its members are undated. On traction, BHUninstaller leads with 51 stars, followed by mac-manager with 6 and DClutter with 3.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
