Partial The Trash-first cleaning, duplicate finder and uninstaller UI are buildable in Swift, but reliably detecting leftovers and running real security checks on macOS requires deep OS-level and security knowledge.
What it would actually take: A real version is a native macOS app in Swift/SwiftUI with careful file-system access under sandbox and TCC permissions, plus an app-leftover index based on bundle IDs and the ~/Library layout. The hard parts are safe deletion with undo, accurate leftover detection, and the security checks, which need threat-intel data and code-signing or notarization knowledge. Mac platform expertise and extensive testing across macOS versions are required.
