BlueHarvest

BlueHarvest is the perfect solution for anyone looking to keep their macOS clean and tidy. It automatically removes those annoying "DS_Store" and "._AppleDouble" files from your system with hardly any effort on your part!

Clean Up Your Mac Like a Pro

This handy app doesn’t just stop at your Mac! BlueHarvest also works wonders on other non-Mac storage devices like USB drives, digital cameras, music players, network disks, and pretty much any disk or folder you can think of.

Easy Integration with macOS

The best part? BlueHarvest fits right into your macOS system without any fuss. If you want to clean a specific folder or device, just right-click it and choose “Clean using BlueHarvest” from the Services menu. Super simple!

Versatile Cleaning Options

This app offers versatility and accessibility that makes cleaning up your macOS. Not only does it remove pesky Apple metadata files, but it can also clean archive files too without needing to expand them first. Say goodbye to those troublesome “._AppleDouble” or “DS_Store” items!

Comprehensive File Removal

BlueHarvest doesn’t just stop at Apple files; it automatically cleans out all sorts of junk like “.fseventsd” folders, “.Spotlight-V100” folders, “.TemporaryItems” folders, and even “.Trashes” folders! It can handle file patterns that match Unix wildcard strings like "*.foobar." Pretty cool, right?

A Word of Caution

Here’s something to keep in mind: some apps might depend on data stored in ._AppleDouble files—like Legacy Mac OS fonts and EPS files. If BlueHarvest removes these, those apps won’t work anymore.

Create Your Whitelist

No worries though! You can pick specific file types you don’t want BlueHarvest to delete by clicking the “Whitelist” button in the app's Preferences menu.

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking for a way to declutter your Mac easily, downloading BlueHarvest is a great choice! Just remember to set it up properly so it helps clear out the clutter without messing up anything important.
