Automatically clean macOS trash using a lightweight LaunchDaemon automation tool designed for developers and system administrators.
Smart Trash Cleaner LaunchDaemon for macOS is a lightweight automation tool designed to automatically clean and manage the macOS Trash directory using system-level LaunchDaemon scheduling.
This tool is particularly useful for developers, system administrators, and macOS power users who want to maintain a clean system environment without manually emptying the Trash folder.
The automation works by installing a LaunchDaemon configuration file that triggers a shell script at predefined intervals. The script scans the Trash directory and permanently removes files that are no longer required.
Administrators can also define exclusions using the Ignore List File. This allows specific files or directories to remain untouched during automated cleaning operations.
The package includes a LaunchDaemon configuration file, a cleanup shell script, a simple installer package, and an ignore list configuration file to customize behavior.
Once installed, the daemon runs silently in the background and automatically manages the trash cleanup process without affecting system performance.
