AppTrap

Everyone loves AppZapper for removing unwanted applications, and while many have called for something like it to be included in future versions of OS X, AppTrap comes closer to replicating the Mac simplicity we all enjoy so much. Expanding on the drag-and-drop workflow used to install programs, simply drag the unused application to the trash, and AppTrap pops up asking if you'd also like to delete any associated files.

AppTrap is free, open source, and installed as a system preference pane.

Um, no. AppTrap is free.

IT'S NOT FREE!
You can only use it five times, after that you have to pay $12.95...

You really should note that this background app saps more than 10 megs of memory (and that Hazel does the same thing with half the memory usage and ten times the features).

That window looks like a complete ripoff of the app uninstalling feature that just debuted in the new version of Hazel:

Hazel FTW!

I mailed with the dev, and heâ€™ll look into AppTrap working properly for non-admin users. I guess there might be an update soon â€¦

Very nice app! Thanks for the recommendation. I'm always looking for more ways to keep my Mac running smoothly, with as little clutter as possible.

I'll agree with Buckingham: as most people don't install/uninstall apps daily, it would be better to avoid having another background application/service running all the time.
