What’s new

What's new in CleanMyDev 0.1.7

• New Leaderboard tab in the sidebar: see developers ranked by the space they have reclaimed, all time, right inside the app.
• The leaderboard matches the app's light or dark appearance, keeps your place when you switch tabs, and has Reload and Open in Browser buttons.
• Pro checkout now runs through our new payment provider, Creem. Existing Pro plans keep working.

Your character now has one name everywhere, and the leaderboard is on from the start.

• One name: your character's name is also your leaderboard name and your public profile link. New users get a random look and a name like BriskOtter4821. If you already chose a leaderboard nickname, it becomes your character's name.
• The leaderboard is on by default once you sign in. You can turn it off any time in Settings.
• Public profile: Settings now shows your profile link with Copy, Share and Open buttons. You can also add your own link to show on your profile.
• Your character appears on the dashboard before your first scan and while a scan runs. A Set Up Your Character button stays there until you open the character once.
• Sidebar: the character row now has two lines. On Pro it joins the plan card and shows "Freed this month" and "Freed all time".
• Sharing to X and LinkedIn now includes your reclaim card. The app uploads the card and posts a cleanmydev.app link that shows it, and shows "Preparing post…" while it works.
• Caps and headphones now have a light outline, so they show up on dark backgrounds.

Meet your character. It grows as you clean, and it lives on your storage tree.

• Design your character in Settings → Character: pick a robot, blob or cat, a color and a name.
• It grows with every gigabyte you reclaim, from Tiny to Giant, and never shrinks.
• It walks under the dashboard tree, jumps onto your stacks, hops between them and tells you what each one holds.
• After a clean it jumps and shows how much space you got back.
• Unlock accessories as you reclaim more: headphones at 10 GB, a scarf at 50 GB, shades at 100 GB, a cape at 250 GB and a crown at 500 GB.
• Your character also appears in the sidebar and on your share cards. Turn each one off in Settings → Character.
• New public leaderboard at cleanmydev.app/leaderboard. Join from Settings → Character with a nickname. It's off until you turn it on, and only your nickname, character and total are shared, never your name, email or files.
• Sharing to X and LinkedIn now posts a link with your card attached, with clear steps in the share window.
• Update checks and links now always use cleanmydev.app.
• Reduce Motion keeps the character still.

Share your clean: after a clean, a centered popup offers to share the result. The editor makes a card of your CleanMyDev window, where you can change the heading and background, then post to X or LinkedIn, copy the image or save it as a PNG.

Milestones: the editor opens on its own when your total reclaimed space passes 1, 10, 50, 100, 250 or 500 GB, or 1 TB.

Activity page: a “Share Total” button, and “Share This Clean…” in each row’s right-click menu.

Fix: opening a cleanmydev:// link, such as the sign-in link from the website, no longer quits the app when it’s already open.

• In-app updates: CleanMyDev now updates itself from cleanmydev.app
• Open at Login is part of Pro and starts quietly in the background
• Scans skip Pictures, Music and Movies, so macOS no longer asks for media access
