Yes.
MB BischoffGUEST
I was really excited to see a few weeks ago that, uh, the folks at Designed by a Knife, uh, relaunched their popular macOS uninstaller from, uh, from my youth, AppZapper, and it is now AppZapper 3000.
MB BischoffGUEST
Pew.
MB BischoffGUEST
What classic app that has, uh, has been sunset would you love to see return with more bells and whistles?

Right
Sarah BickertonGUEST

Sarah BickertonGUEST
AppZapper 3000 just seem, feels like overachieving at this point.

What classic app that has been sunset would you love to see return with more bells and whistles?
Dan MorinHOST
You know, it's interesting because I do feel like there's been a recent resurgence in apps coming back, like between this and our pal Lex Friedman reviving Strategery.

And if you're in the mood for whimsical apps, like, you know, Litterbox with little stink lines is very whimsical.
Bart BusschotsPANELIST
Do you remember a Mac app years ago called AppZapper that did that whole uninstall thing, but it had an interface with like a ray gun and it was really whimsical and fun.
Bart BusschotsPANELIST
And it was actually a really powerful app, but the interface was like a ray gun.
Bart BusschotsPANELIST
You blasted your apps away.
Matt BirchlerHOST
Train, a couple apps have come out recently that have got me thinking about a thing that I just, is a thing for us to address as a society.
Matt BirchlerHOST
And those are AppZapper 3000 and Quiver Launcher.
Matt BirchlerHOST
So AppZapper 3000 is a follow-up to AppZapper, which is just a freaking awesome app.
Matt BirchlerHOST
It's from 20 years ago.
Matt BirchlerHOST
It was from the height of the delicious generation of Apple Mac software in particular.
Matt BirchlerHOST
It was really awesome.
Matt BirchlerHOST
Anyway, software was very, very fun back then.
Matt BirchlerHOST
But anyway, AppZapper 3000 came out a couple of weeks ago, I think.
Stephen RoblesHOST
Interesting read and seeing how Apple is approaching making sure photos marked as real are actually real.
Stephen RoblesHOST
On what to download, an old app got a refresh this week, AppZapper 3000.
Stephen RoblesHOST
I was actually recommended this app by a friend, Chris, and it's a great app for making sure when you delete an application, all the files get deleted with it, all the ones in your library and application support.
Stephen RoblesHOST
Well, AppZapper 3000 is a brand new updated version And if you'd like to make sure that all those files and folders are clean when you delete an app that you didn't install from the app store, highly recommend AppZapper 3000.
Stephen RoblesHOST
You can try it before you buy it, but it's $18 for a single user, up to five max, $30, one-time purchase, no subscription, great app.
Stephen RoblesHOST
And on something deep, we talked about this on primary technology, but I'll point you once again to Jason's article about how AI companies and why they love to tell us how dangerous their products are.
