2.0 is the first release since 1.8.2 and requires macOS 27 on an Apple silicon Mac.

A new interface

Monolingual is rewritten in Swift 6 with a SwiftUI interface. The English language files can no longer be selected for removal — deleting them breaks a macOS installation beyond repair.

Removals you can watch, and stop

A removal reports what it is doing in a sheet, showing the file it is working on and the space freed so far, and can be cancelled. A notification tells you when it is done, with the space it saved.

A different helper

The privileged helper is registered with Service Management (SMAppService) instead of the deprecated SMJobBless; approve it once under System Settings › General › Login Items & Extensions. It verifies that the processes talking to it are Monolingual, and it no longer follows symbolic links when removing files or thinning architectures.

Updates you can trust

Monolingual uses Sparkle 2 with EdDSA-signed updates, and the app is notarized.

Better translations

Turkish is new since 1.8.2, and all 16 translations are complete, kept in a String Catalog so that no string can go stale.

Fixed

A blocklist download that failed used to leave the blocklist empty, which crashed the next removal.


The disk image is notarized and stapled.
