Captured 27 finds from the daily sweep across 15 sources (Daring Fireball, HN Show HN, Kottke, Wallpaper, Outbound, Uncommon Goods, Kikkerland, BIFL, Quote Investigator, Marginalian, r/dadjokes, icanhazdadjoke, r/shortcuts, Recomendo, Messy Nessy) plus one user- suggested find (valchoose-barf-bags) and 11 additional reader- suggestion finds (appcleaner, blip, cleanmykeyboard, clocker, daisydisk, ia-writer, launchos, macfolio, mos, vivid, wallspace). New reviews: monitorcontrol (graduated from today's reader suggestion, category interface) and blip (graduated from today's reader suggestion, category indie). Both registered in hero.ts. Site tooling: new dev-only POST /api/set-pick middleware that rewrites HERO_SLUG in src/pages/index.astro for the Make today's pick action. EditConfirm reworked to support a non-copy "set-pick" mode; EditAction takes action and slug props; the reviews template switches the toolbar button over to the new wiring. Log + candidate-sources updated. Two new candidates: Routinehub.co and Moss & Fog.

description: "Free Mac uninstaller from FreeMacSoft that hunts down the dozen support files an app leaves scattered across ~/Library when you drag it to the Trash."

Dragging a Mac app to the Trash leaves behind preferences, application support folders, login items, and launch agents that nobody bothers to remove. AppCleaner finds the lot — drop an app onto its window and it lists every related file across `~/Library` and the system, ticked and ready to delete. Its SmartDelete mode also watches for apps you've already trashed and offers to clean up the leftovers. Free, lean, has been a "first day on a new Mac" install for a decade.
