Why does macOS say Binzide can't be opened?

Binzide isn't notarized by Apple yet, so macOS asks you to allow it once. Open it, click Done, then choose Open Anyway in System Settings › Privacy & Security. Our install guide at ballmac.com/binzide/install walks through each step.

What do I need to run Binzide?

macOS 14 Sonoma or later. Some user folders may need Full Disk Access, which you can grant in System Settings. Editing /etc/hosts asks for administrator authentication only when you apply a change.

Does Binzide send my data anywhere?

No. There's no account, analytics service, or cloud backend. Scan results stay on your Mac. The only network requests are the ones you explicitly start, such as network diagnostics, cURL Lab, or activating a Pro license.

Can Binzide delete something important?

Binzide is conservative by design. Risky items start unchecked, protected system paths are blocked, and removed items go to the Trash so you can restore them.

Buy a license key, then open License in the Binzide sidebar and paste it in. The key is stored securely in your macOS Keychain, and you can deactivate it on one Mac to move it to another.

01Workspaces

Everything your Mac needs, in one quiet app.

Binzide brings the utilities you'd normally hunt down separately into a single native app that stays out of your way.

Cleanup

Find caches, logs, leftovers, and developer files. Risky items stay unchecked, and removed files go to the Trash.

Apps

Uninstall apps and command-line tools along with their support files.

Storage

Understand disk usage by category and track down large folders.

Performance

Follow CPU, memory pressure, thermal state, and the apps keeping your Mac busy.

Network

Inspect traffic, connections, listening ports, routes, VPN/TUN, and proxies.

System

Review login items, background activity, and extensions in one place.

02Always at hand

Built into the way you already use your Mac.

Binzide lives in your menu bar and answers to global shortcuts, so the right tool is a keystroke away.

Screenshot and annotate
Capture any region, freeze the desktop, then add arrows, shapes, highlights, mosaic, and text. Copy or save without opening another window.
Menu bar access
Jump to any workspace or tool straight from the menu bar.
Global shortcuts
Open your most-used utilities from anywhere with a shortcut you choose.

03Tools

20 local utilities, one shortcut away.

04Privacy and safety

Private by default. Careful by design.

A cleanup tool has deep access to your Mac, so we hold Binzide to a strict standard.

01
No cloud, no analytics
Binzide has no analytics service or cloud backend. Scans read local file metadata only.
02
Trash, not delete
Removable items go to the Trash unless the app clearly labels an action as permanent.
03
Nothing runs behind your back
Network diagnostics and cURL Lab send requests only when you start them, directly from your Mac.
04
Careful defaults
Risky items stay unchecked, and administrator access is requested only for clear, specific actions.
