About:
AppTrap is a background utility that automatically detects and removes associated preference files, caches, and support files when you uninstall an application.

This helps maintain system hygiene and reclaim disk space without manual hunting for orphaned files.
Key Features:
  • Automatic detection of leftover files upon app deletion
  • User-friendly prompts to review and remove associated data
  • Monitors system for file changes in real-time
  • Supports Intel macOS via Rosetta 2
