- Mac users who like playful file-cleanup tools
- Worth noticing
- The page says Dock drops and Finder’s context-menu action need no permissions; the ⌘⌫ shortcut requires Accessibility and Finder access.
Field notes
The homepage lays out three ways to send files to the cauldron: drag them onto the Dock icon, use Finder’s context menu, or invoke a keyboard shortcut. It says only the shortcut needs Accessibility and Finder access. The app’s counters cover items, bytes freed, recent activity, and streaks; achievements unlock skins, with fifteen listed and some kept secret. The page describes the app as 2 MB and notarised.
