What does MacWasher do?
MacWasher is a very useful program for cleaning up the history of your activities on a Macintosh computer. Many people do not realize that MacOS and other software programs store information about what they have done, what applications they have launched, what documents they have used, what web sites they have visited, and various other activities they have performed. Therefore, anyone else can see what you have been doing on your Mac, which raises privacy concerns. Furthermore, much of your activity information takes up valuable disk space, and recovering this space can be very beneficial to Mac system performance.
Cleaning up the history of your activities can be a tedious chore of manually removing each history file or entry. If privacy and disk space are to be maintained, this process must be performed every time you use your Mac. MacWasher can automate this process for you! MacWasher's AutoWash will automatically run in the background and clean up whatever tracks you want removed, whenever you want. You can have MacWasher's AutoWash automatically clean your files when your Mac is Started or Shutdown, as well as scheduled "background" cleanings while you use your Mac. MacWasher integrates with the standard MacOS places where your tracks are kept, such as the Recent Applications Folder, Recent Documents Folder, Temporary Files Folder, and the Trash Folder. It also integrates with popular programs like Netscape and Internet Explorer. What's more, with the flexible "Custom Wash Items" feature, you can specify other files and folders that you would like to have automatically cleaned!
Quick Start
After installing MacWasher, there will be a MacWasher folder on your desktop. Within the MacWasher folder you will find two applications: "MacWasher" and "MacWasher AutoWash". You may move these files anywhere on your Mac, as long as they are kept in the same folder with each other.
If you wish to have the "MacWasher", but not "MacWasher AutoWash" icon on your desktop, make an alias of the "MacWasher" icon (select the "MacWasher" icon, then press Command-M), then drag the resulting "MacWasher alias" icon to the desktop.
Double-click the "MacWasher" (or "MacWasher alias") icon to configure MacWasher's settings, test your settings with a "simulated" wash, perform an "actual" wash, and configure the powerful MacWasher AutoWash application.
