What’s new in SiftMac

Updates arrive inside the app (SiftMac › Check for Updates…), free for every licence. Newest first.

10 November 2026 · Notarized by Apple

• The download is now notarized by Apple. The first time you open SiftMac, macOS just asks whether you want to open it; there’s no trip to Privacy & Security.
• The install window shows the two steps: open SiftMac from Applications, then click Open.

0.2.5 · 26 October 2026

• The Family pack (5 Macs, $29) can be bought from inside the app.
• When the 100 Founding licences are gone, the app moves straight to the $19 price.

0.2.4 · 26 October 2026

• Buying opens: Founding ($12 for the first 100 buyers), Personal ($19) and Family ($29), all one-time.

0.2.3 · 26 October 2026

• The window scrolls and resizes properly at every size, including the Detailed view and Login items.

0.2.2 · 25 October 2026

• The Founding price ($12 for the first 100 buyers, then $19) shows in the app and the menu bar.

0.2.1 · 25 October 2026

• SiftMac asks for Full Disk Access once, instead of macOS asking folder by folder. Until you give it, scans skip Desktop, Documents and Downloads, so no per-folder prompts appear.

0.2.0 · 24 October 2026

• The first public version: a verdict and a reason for every item, the 7-day Undo Shelf, System Data explained, developer and AI-tool files, duplicates and similar photos, large and old files with a space map, the uninstaller, Login items, the menu bar panel, the disk-full forecast and the Receipt.
