Congratulations on your new Raycast extension! 🚀

Due to our current reduced availability, the initial review may take up to 10-15 business days.

Once the PR is approved and merged, the extension will be available on our Store.

Greptile Summary

This PR adds a new Time Machine Snapshot Manager extension that helps users reclaim disk space by listing and bulk-deleting local APFS snapshots. The implementation includes:

• Parallel deletion with configurable concurrency (1-5 threads)
• Secure password handling with proper escaping for special characters
• Real-time progress tracking with a dedicated progress view
• Support for Time Machine and third-party backup snapshots (Arq, Backblaze, etc.)
• Comprehensive error handling and user feedback

The extension follows Raycast standards with proper configuration, documentation, and keyboard shortcuts. Previous issues with manual Preferences interface and changelog format have been resolved.

Confidence Score: 5/5

• This PR is safe to merge with no blocking issues
• The extension is well-implemented with proper error handling, secure password management, and follows all Raycast conventions. Previous feedback from reviewers has been addressed (auto-generated Preferences type, correct CHANGELOG format). The code demonstrates good practices with parallel execution control, comprehensive logging, and user-friendly progress tracking.
• No files require special attention

How is this compared wit hRaycast Store: Time Machine by @SuoweiHu

Hey @pernielsentikaer, thanks for the review! 👋

Good question — I'm aware of the guidelines around not duplicating existing extensions, but I submitted this because I believe they serve fundamentally different purposes.

The existing "Time Machine" extension is a controller — toggle backups, start a backup, open System Preferences. Quick-access to Time Machine's controls.

This extension is a snapshot cleaner. It lists all local APFS snapshots (Time Machine, CCC, Arq, Backblaze) and lets you selectively delete them to reclaim disk space. It also handles parallel deletion with configurable threads, since operations like tmutil deletelocalsnapshots on large catalogs can be slow.

Different use cases: one controls the backup process, this one cleans up what's already on disk.

Happy to rename to "Time Machine Snapshot Cleaner" if that makes the distinction clearer! (or if you have any suggestions, I'm here to listen 😉 )

hey @pernielsentikaer , any chance you could review this please? 🙏 I also opened #24539
thanks in advance!

Thanks for your contribution  🔥

We already have an extension in the Store that deals with TimeMachine. Could we consider enhancing the existing extension below instead of creating another one?

Raycast Store: Time Machine by @SuoweiHu

If there are unique features or workflows you’re aiming to add, we’d love to hear them and see if they can be integrated into this to avoid duplication and improve discoverability.

This would help avoid duplication and keep related functionality consolidated in one place.
