Penfold for macOS

Requires macOS 14 or later. Supports Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.

1. Drag Penfold into Applications.
2. Open Penfold from Applications. macOS may ask you to confirm opening a downloaded app.
3. Choose a folder to scan and allow access when macOS asks.

On a Mac without Mole, Penfold downloads and verifies the official storage analyzer
automatically. An internet connection is needed for this first setup.

Free up RAM is optional. In Penfold Settings > Memory cleanup, enable the signed
helper and approve it in macOS when asked. This one-time setup is per Mac. Scanning
and the rest of Penfold work without enabling it.

Closing the window keeps Penfold in the menu bar. Use Quit to exit it.

Penfold does not update automatically. To update, quit Penfold and replace the copy
in Applications with a newer release. Your saved settings and review history remain
in your user account. Avoid keeping multiple installed copies when using the helper.

This initial release has not yet been tested on Intel hardware or macOS 14, and
the privileged memory-helper approval/cleanup flow still needs testing on a fresh Mac.

Penfold is independent of the Mole project. Licensed under GPL-3.0-or-later.
Corresponding source and the license are in the Source code folder on this disk.
