Description
Dragging an app to the Trash leaves its caches, preferences, logs, support files and launch agents behind - often gigabytes of them. Nix finds every leftover, shows you exactly how much space you'll get back, and moves it all to the Trash - nothing is ever permanently deleted, and you can restore anything from History. • Free to scan every app and see every size • Leftover Hunt finds orphans from apps you deleted years ago • Login Items in one place • Never sends a file off your Mac

Could you build this?
Yes A macOS uninstaller app can be created in Swift using standard system file-crawling heuristics across ~/Library folders (Application Support, Caches, Preferences, LaunchAgents) to find matching bundle IDs.
