Your Mac keeps a record of where you've been: every download and the site it came from, every Wi-Fi network it has joined, everyone you've emailed, where your photos were taken. Clearing your history and private browsing don't touch it. TrailSift checks more than 30 of these places, explains each one, and clears what you choose after showing exactly what will go. Nothing leaves your Mac, the audit script is open source, and Pro is a one-off payment, not a subscription. In five languages.

Partial The UI and scanning logic are vibe-codeable, but accurately reading the many undocumented macOS history stores and their permissions takes deep platform knowledge.
What it would actually take: A native macOS app, probably in Swift, that reads many system databases and logs such as the quarantine events store, known Wi-Fi plists, Photos metadata, and mail indexes, with a clear explanation for each. The hard part is knowing and safely parsing each undocumented artifact across macOS versions, and handling Full Disk Access and notarization. This takes macOS internals expertise plus ongoing maintenance as Apple changes formats.
