Interesting idea, and I like the idea of people getting paid for making useful things.
Also, I get a data security itch having a random piece of software from the internet scan every file on an HD, particularly on a work machine where some lawyers might care about what's reading your hard drive. It would be nice if it was open source, so you could see what it's doing.

I am not arguing anything, except pondering how software economics and security issues are full of unresolved holes, and the world isn't getting default fairer or safer. -- The app was a great idea, indeed. I am now surprised Apple doesn't automatically reclaim storage like this. Kudos to the author.
- benced 2y agoYou could download the app, disconnect Wifi and Ethernet, run the app and the reclamation process, remove the app (remember, you have the guarantees of the macOS App Store so no kernel extensions etc), and then reconnect. Edit: this might not work with the payment option actually. I don't think you can IAP without the internet.
