BlueHarvest 5

The easiest way to keep your disks and file servers clean of Mac "dust".

"A nice little program that saves me a lot of tedious cleaning up, and saves my windows-using colleagues a lot of confusion"

The easiest way to keep your disks and file servers clean of Mac “dust”. BlueHarvest automatically removes DS_Store and ._ AppleDouble files (resource forks) from your USB keys, SD cards and file servers, etc. BlueHarvest removes these items as they’re created so you’ll always be “dust” free.

Need to clean a disk, folder or archive immediately? No problem, simply control-click a disk or folder in the Finder and select “Clean using BlueHarvest” to clean it imediately. BlueHarvest features a very simple user interface and is fully configurable via System Preferences.

While BlueHarvest is very easy to use, it isn’t a toy, so be sure to read the How To and FAQs (above) before installing. Using BlueHarvest may result in some strange behaviours or you may find some Mac features inaccessible.
