FIXXR today is a calm, local-first intelligence platform for the apps on your Mac — visibility, hygiene, and trust signals you can inspect. What ships now is the foundation. Below is what we're working toward, in roughly the order we expect to ship it. No dates: we ship when it's ready and when the evidence on real machines says the work is done.
The first job is making sure FIXXR sees your apps the way they actually are. The mechanism column — Cask, App Store, Sparkle, Self-managed, Native — is the product's quiet foundation. We're hardening it on the long tail: apps that update through unusual paths, machines where Spotlight is partial or paused, mixed-architecture setups that confused earlier versions. Every fix here compounds into every later capability.
The community catalog becomes a real trust source: provenance from many machines, not just yours. We're working toward a verification-tier vocabulary that's honest about what FIXXR actually knows about an app — not a star rating, but a stated source. We're also opening a public catalog browser, so you can see what FIXXR knows before you install something. None of this changes the privacy contract: only fields declared in fixxr privacy ever leave your machine.
Updates are one verb. The same scan that asks "is this outdated?" can also ask "how big is this?", "when did you last open it?", "what does this app touch?". We're picking these one at a time, deliberately. Probable early candidates: helping you move large apps to a secondary disk without breaking them, surfacing the orphaned data that piles up after uninstalls, and detecting the local LLM model libraries that increasingly dominate developer disks.
FIXXR's coverage today extends one app at a time, by hand. The path forward is a contributor surface: structured diagnostics that explain why an app is unclassified, paired with a way to propose coverage back to the community catalog. Long term, this is how a small team's tool becomes everyone's. Short term, it's how the next thousand apps get classified without every one of them passing through us.
This page describes direction, not commitments. We update it when the work updates. If a theme above sounds like something you'd want to use — or contribute to — the conversation lives in the issue tracker.
