Files you forget to delete, delete themselves

What it does

Most "auto-delete" tools are all-or-nothing. They wipe a folder on a schedule with no way to intervene. RottenFiles tracks each file individually with its own countdown, and gives you a one-click "Keep" before it's gone. You're not trusting a script with your files; you're getting a grace period with full control. It also works with literally any app: Chrome, Discord, WhatsApp Web, Telegram etc. because it just watches a folder, no browser extension or integration required!

Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!
