AppTrap Free OS X Application Uninstaller

1232
OK, here's a fairly simple idea: what if applications could be uninstalled as easily as they are installed, in other words, by drag-and-drop. Wait, I can already hear you say: "They can! By using x, y or z!". Well, nice try, sunshine!

Neither x, y or z are truly that simple, right? What can be considered the exact opposite of dragging an application to the Applications folder? Opening another application, dragging the unwanted application to that application, clicking a button, clicking another button, quitting? Nope!

The exact opposite would have to be... dragging the application to the trash. Ah, there you go! This is exactly what AppTrap does. Whenever you drag an application to the trash, a dialog window will pop up, asking if you want to delete the associated system files too. Simple as that.

AppTrap is designed with two things in mind:
Extreme simplicity
Being completely seamless

The first point is achieved by not including anything but the main functionality described above. There will never be any spring cleaning or or other snazzy features, not even bells and whistles!

The second point is achieved by integrating AppTrap with Mac OS X. You won't ever see AppTrap except for its dialogue window; yes, that's right, there's no menu extra. Only a background application and a preference pane. Also, the aim is to include as many localizations as possible, so you'll have to help out here!

Anyway, enough theory, download AppTrap and give it a spin!
It's free!

AppTrap is and will always be completely free, although donations can be made. And as if that was not enough, AppTrap is now open source too. Visit the development blog for more information.

Known issues
• AppTrap will only operate on the currently logged in user account. This is by design, and will or will not be changed in a future version. • There are all sorts of implications when operating globally on system files.
• AppTrap can not uninstall itself (yet). Ah, the irony!
