Delete like you always do.
Command-Delete, drag to the Dock, empty from any app. The can in your menu bar gives a little hop and fills a notch.
When's the last time you took it out? Trash Day picks it up once a week, so you never have to think about it.
Your first 2 pickups are free. For macOS 14 or later.
The truck comes once a week. In between, the can fills up as you delete things, the same as always.

Command-Delete, drag to the Dock, empty from any app. The can in your menu bar gives a little hop and fills a notch.
Click the can to see what's waiting for the truck. Changed your mind about a file? Show it in Finder and drag it back out.
When the can nears your size limit, a few flies show up. Go over the limit and Trash Day sends a notification so you can send the truck early.
One notification the night before: everything goes in the morning. Need more time? Skip this week.
A tiny garbage truck drives across your menu bar, tips the can and drives off. You get a receipt, and the space comes back.
Click the can in your menu bar to see everything waiting for the truck, with the biggest files at the bottom. Pick any one to see where it came from or show it in Finder.
Trash Day speaks up when the can is nearly full, the night before pickup, and after the truck comes by. It stays quiet during calls, screen sharing and fullscreen apps.
Pick a quiet time when your Mac is usually awake. Asleep at pickup? The truck comes when it wakes.
Set a limit of 1, 5, 10 or 20 GB. Nothing gets emptied early unless you say so.
Not ready? Skip from the night-before reminder. The bag waits at the curb.
No truck during calls, screen sharing or fullscreen apps. Reduce Motion turns the run into a simple swap.
Trash Day asks Finder what's in your Trash. macOS asks once. Click Allow and you're set.
Files you delete don't linger in the Trash for months, where anyone using your Mac could still open them.
Your first 2 pickups are free. After that, sign up once and pickup keeps coming every week.
Sold directly, not on the App Store. Checkout through Lemon Squeezy.
The can stays in your menu bar and keeps counting, but the truck stops coming. Your Trash goes back to normal and stays put until you empty it yourself. Buy a license and pickups start again.
Yes, any time before pickup. Click the can, find the file in the pile and choose Show in Finder, then drag it out of the Trash. After pickup it's gone, the same as emptying the Trash yourself.
Yes. Choose Skip this week on the last call notification, or click the pickup day at the top of the Trash Day panel. You can also pause service from Settings.
No. The can is a window into your Mac's real Trash. Delete things the way you always have.
No, and we won't pretend it does. It clears out the clutter you trashed and forgot about, like old screenshots, installers and screen recordings, and gives you that disk space back.
App Store apps can't ask Finder to empty the Trash. Selling it directly lets Trash Day use one small Finder permission instead of Full Disk Access.
Not yet. Trash Day empties the Finder Trash only.
