TrashMagic3.0.7

I have been using TrashMagic since version 1 in 2009. It has been entirely reliable throughout that period and the developer is very responsive. The App has always been made compatible with the latest OS version as soon as it is released, sometimes with a new version but very often with a free update. I recently updated to Catalina, so upgraded TrashMagic to version 3, which is fully 64-bit and simplified compared to version 2, but in a good way. Once it has been set up you can just leave it knowing with confidence that it will do its work automatically in the background and that on the occasions when you need to recover something it will be available in the TrashMagic cache. Unlike TimeMachine, TrashMagic saves deleted items instantly so you can never lose anything. Dealing with the cache and recovery of files is much easier in version 3, which overall is nice step up from version 2. Overall, a very good App.

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.

... 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.
