Product Description:

Xslimmer reduces the disk space taken up by Mac OS X applications removing localizations you don't need, and preserving just the Intel or PowerPC version of the code in Universal Binaries.

Xslimmer is a new, user-friendly way to size down your Mac OS X apps, removing the code inside the Universal Binaries that does not fit with your machine's architecture, and deleting the localizations you don't need.

This is done in a safely way backing up your apps before slimming, downloading a "blacklist" of apps that check themselves, or allowing you to exclude any application, folder or path.

I used this app to remove 1.5GB of PPC code and superfluous languages from my Applications folder. I have had no issues with the software since and the Genie function is great. I especially like the blacklisting which the developer had thought through well. Great stuff!

it will often leave dozens of localizations behind. I go in with EASYFIND and kill off the rest;

Also-it does something weird when it strips binary-iMovie wont work too good and other things that should be universal or binary

XSlimmer allows you to drag and drop folders and apps for slimming but does not do as thorough a job as Monolingual. This may have something to do with the blacklist but have never had a problem after running ML.

So why pay for XS when you can get ML for free?
