Anyone who works a lot of files will eventually put them into the Mac’s Trash to keep things not only tidy, but also to reclaim precious disk space. Overall, the Mac’s Trash is very user-friendly, but it also has a few convenience and usability drawbacks, including:
- Small Trash Size: The Mac’s Trash is located on the Dock and can be hard to access if your Dock is very small if, for example, you’re on a MacBook Air. I can’t tell you how many times I drag files to the Dock’s Trash icon and miss, which then scatters dozens of files all over my Desktop.
- Custom Empty Trash Shortcuts: It can require multiple mouse clicks to empty the Trash, which can be frustrating when you’re working on a second screen. While there isa keyboard shortcut for emptying the Trash (Shift+Command+Delete), it can’t be redefined and can only be done while using the Finder.
- Trash Item Counts: The Mac’s Trash doesn’t show a count of the items currently in the Trash.
- Automated Trash Emptying: The Mac can automatically remove items from Trash after30 days (if you set this option). If you’re low on disk space or just forgetful, this may not be flexible enough.
Well, if any or all of the above are things you’ve wished for, then you’re in luck. That’s precisely what Trash Buddy Plus does. It enhances the Mac’s Trash functionality by providing you with these capabilities and more! Some of the features you get include:
- Quickly empty your Mac’s Trash from any application using a custom keyboard shortcut
- Display a large Trash icon in any of 5 different sizes and 8 different styles that you can place on your Desktop and position virtually anywhere — even on a separate display
- Optionally define your own custom Trash can in any of the 5 different sizes
- See a count of files currently in your Mac’s Trash
- Select a custom sound effect that plays when dragging files into the the Desktop Trash icon
- Inspect the contents of the Trash at anytime using a custom keyboard shortcut

- And more...
