DetectX overview
DetectX is the troubleshooting tool for your Mac. The only troubleshooting app that runs on every version of OS X from 2011 to present and that allows you to:
- Fix problems: - Use the Detector View to find and trash the hidden and not-so-hidden files belonging to apps and processes that can be responsible for performance problems. There are generally three categories of things the Detector searches for: commercial apps with hidden executables, adware and keyloggers.
- Stay Informed: - DetectX warns you when 3rd party applications, processes or files are added or removed to crucial areas of your mac that may impact performance. The Inspector runs automatically on launch and whenever you manually use the ‘Record’ function in the Inspector View.
- Analyse and Diagnose: - The History View keeps logs of all the Inspector’s runs and allows you or a technical adviser to analyse and diagnose what changes occurred on your mac. For convenience, you can review all logs, individual logs or just a list of changes.
Note: DetectX 2 suggests a $10 license purchase on start-up. Commercial and Institutional users are required to buy a commercial-use license.

NEW NAME (well, as of 2022) is DetectX Swift. It's FREE! It's UNIVERSAL, which is to say it's coded for BOTH Intel and Apple Silicon (ARM). With the new name came NEW NUMBERING: v1.0983 is the current (as of 2022) version. Q: Being this old, does it still work? YES, except don't bother with its malware detection. It's WAY-out-of-date! And it never liked 'MacCleanse' from Koingo Software anyway, which is nonsense. It still provides useful information about your Mac. Q: Didn't DetectX Swift it used to be on MacUpdate? YES. I don't know why it's gone while its predecessor is still listed here. Q: Do I need it in 2024? Only if you want it's Mac specs listing ability. Q: Wasn't there once-upon-a-time supposed to be a version 2.x forthcoming? Yes, but there's no sign of it IRL. IOW: This appears to be ABANDONWARE(?). Maybe its developer, Philip Stokes fell off the Earth. But his website is still there. 🤕

Wow - someone really should tell Apple that this is "THE troubleshooting tool for your Mac."
Since TechTool is no longer included with AppleCare Protection Plans, they will surely want to include this software from now on.
And obviously this $10 masterpiece will now put DiskWarrior, Malwarebytes, TechTool, EtreCheck and many other inferior products right out of business. [sarcasm]

Unable to run latest version using High Sierra (i.e. App not responding and End up force quitting after a long wait).
