Features
Quit and Force Quit Applications
Black Hole can quit any number of applications with a single click on the "Clean" button. If an application fails to quit after a set amount of time, Black Hole can force quit it for you.
Clear Recent Items in Your Apps
Using this option you can clear recent items from the <i>File > Open Recent</i> menu of most applications. Black Hole comes with a default set of rules, or you can create your own.
Empty the Trash
Emptying the trash is a matter of seconds, even if the files inside it are locked.
Unmount Volumes
Black Hole is able to unmount volumes from your Mac, be it a Mac or Windows share, a USB key, an external hard drive, or a mounted disk image file (.dmg and others). This is invaluable if you store confidential information in encrypted disk images, etc.
Clear the Clipboard
The clipboard can be cleared without question or only if some keywords are found within it.
Delete Files and Folders
Black Hole can delete files and folders for you, bypassing the Trash. There are several options for configuring exactly what files to remove according to your needs.
Delete Logs
It's easy to delete log files using Black Hole. No need to hunt for them. You can easily mark log files and folders for deletion and have them removed each time you start the cleanup.
Close Safari Tabs and Windows
Safari tabs and windows can be closed without question, or only if their titles contain one or more keyword(s).
Secure Deletion
Black Hole supports deleting files securely using three standard algorithms that provide a good balance between speed and security.
