This is one of those "must have" apps, as far as I'm concerned. It has not been updated since 2014, but still works in High Sierra.

I was having issues with 2.X in Mojave and found there IS a version 3.0 and it works as expected. Not sure why Version Tracker isn't listing the new version. I was able to upgrade for $19.95 from version 2 and since again, this application has saved my bacon many times over the years, it was well worth the upgrade fee.

This app has saved my bacon a number of times. I'll admit I've trashed files I later needed back (and Time Machine didn't have backed up). If you charge by the hour, the time you save in recovering a file you didn't really want trashed will pay for this utility the first time you use it.

This developer is delusional if s/he thinks many folks will pay $29 for this app. I wouldn't have paid any more than $12 for this functionality even before Unblunder offered it for $10. But because s/he was so greedy, now everyone is flocking to Unblunder and thumbing their nose at TrashMagic. Let that be a lesson to all the other d1ckhead developers who are charging an arm and a leg for their wares when the world economy is in deep recession and so many are unemployed.

Yeah, well guess what? Unblunder has been discontinued and the dev. has disappeared. Meanwhile, TrashMagic is still churning out updates. So maybe you can't make a livin' with a $10 app?

This is a useful app. Unfortunately for this developer the new Mac OSX - Leopard has this functionality built in amongst a whole host of other wonderful stuff...and the OS costs $129 while this app alone costs $49. However that said I've been using it now for a few weekss and am quite happy with it. One problem I've come across: I've put TrashMagic in my startup items. I've a MacBook that logs out automatically after an hour of inactivity. When I log back in I always get an error message from TrashMagic telling me it couldn't start. A bit annoying really.

As far as I've seen, Leopard has no undo for emptying the trash.

I think he's referring to Time Machine. I've used it when I've lost stuff or an upgrade goes bad and it works great in either case.

... and for $49... you would atleast invest in some better icons for this app. There absolutely ugly and I don't want my Mac looking downgraded.

This application could be useful to those who use plain "Empty Trash" command. In such a case I could justify $49 price tag. On the other hand, if you use "Secure Empty Trash" or delete the contents of the Trash via Terminal, the data being previously trashed is gone forever.
