Installation

Ready in 3 steps

1

Move to Applications

Download the DMG from the link above, open it, and drag OneDown.app to your /Applications folder.

2

Open & allow

Open OneDown — macOS will block it because it's not notarized. Go to System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down, and click "Open Anyway". Notarization requires an Apple Developer account — which costs $99/year.

3

Done

The Delete Forever button appears in your Finder toolbar automatically. You can close OneDown — the button stays.
