Ds Store Remover
Ds Store Remover is a lightweight utility for macOS that scans and removes .DS_Store files from a Mac. These hidden system files are created automatically by macOS in every folder to store metadata like view settings, icon positions, and sorting preferences, and they can accumulate over time, taking up storage space and creating clutter, especially when sharing folders across systems or managing large directory trees. The app is intended for users who want to clean up their drives, manage backup directories, or prepare folders for cross-platform distribution without these macOS-specific files.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find recent information about Ds Store Remover through public search channels, so we cannot confirm whether a native Apple Silicon build exists or whether the developer is still actively maintaining the app. Since you are using this on an Intel Mac today, it likely runs fine under Rosetta 2. However, Apple is removing Rosetta 2 support in macOS 28 (September 2028), so an Intel-only build will stop launching on that release. Contact the developer (Laurent Grandhomme) directly to ask whether a native Apple Silicon version is planned, or check the app's website or GitHub repository if one exists to see the latest release date and architecture information. If this utility becomes critical to your workflow and no native update appears, consider free alternatives like the cleanmymac or OmniGraffle's built-in tools, or use the Terminal command `find . -name ".DS_Store" -delete` to remove these files manually — this approach is distribution-agnostic and requires no app at all.
