Xslimmer

An easy way to size down your Universal Binary applications, without losing any of their functionality

Recover your disk space! Xslimmer is a fun way to size down your Universal Binary applications, without losing any of their functionality. How is this possible?

It is achieved by removing the code inside the Universal Binaries that does not fit with your machine’s architecture, a code that never gets executed and just wastes your disk space.

Want to see for yourself? Grab your copy of Xslimmer now and try it out for free.

Here are some key features of “Xslimmer”:

Total Control:
· Total ControlSlim what you want, the way you want it. Take out languages, architectures or both. Select which languages to keep, and let Xslimmer take care of the rest. Checkout Xslimmer’s extensive preferences and configure its behavior the way you like it.

Feel the Need for Speed:
· Fast!Have your apps load in less time by reducing their code size! Xslimmer will preserve the binary version that is most suitable for your computer, therefore Mac OS X will not have to check what version to run every time you launch an app.

The Magic of the Genie:
· MagicUse the familiar drag & drop interface to add the apps you want to slim, or have the Genie find all the apps in your system for you - you may be surprised how many are installed! All found apps will be added as if you had dragged them in, so you can review them before slimming.

Slim Install:
· Slim InstallTrying out lots of new apps? Save time, space and simplify your workflow having Xslimmer install your apps already stripped of all the unnecessary bloat. Simply drop the app from your .dmg image to Xslimmer’s icon to have it slimmed down and installed into your Applications folder.

Backup and Restore:
· Backup and RestoreHave Xslimmer save a copy of your originals for you, and let it delete old backups periodically so that you don’t have to remember about them. Restore your app quickly if you suspect it does not work correctly after being slimmed down.

Automated Blacklist:
· BlacklistTo avoid unnecessary headaches Xslimmer uses a downloadable blacklist, which tracks apps that do not allow themselves to be modified - to prevent piracy, usually. Blacklisted apps will be ignored, and the list will be automatically updated as new troublesome apps are discovered.

History Log:
· HistoryKnow what you did, when and how much you saved for every application you slimmed down, and if something went wrong with one of those apps, you can restore the situation to its original state and report the app to us, so we can add it to the blacklist!

Detailed Info:
· InfoDisplay extra info before slimming your apps, to learn all details about how Xslimmer will modify your application. Gain confidence by being warned in advance about side-effects, such as the need to reauthorize access to the Keychain.

Report it:
· ReportWill you be so unlucky to slim down an application that will not behave correctly afterwards? Report the problem from within Xslimmer itself, and our team will add the offending app to the blacklist after verification.

Reliability:
· ReliableBackups, downloadable blacklist, user-configurable paths to exclude, detailed info and total control of the process: Xslimmer adopts every measure to gain your trust - and facilitate recovery in case something does go wrong.

Panther compatibility:
· PantherUse Xslimmer even in older computers, where disk space is absolutely precious! Xslimmer is compatible all the way from Mac OS X 10.3.9 (Panther) through 10.4.x (Tiger) to 10.5.x (Leopard).
