Welcome to Pacifist!

To get started, you can do one of the following:

  1. If you would like to try to reinstall a file, but don’t know what package it was installed from, you can use the “Search Receipts” feature.
  2. If you would like to inspect or extract files from another package or archive file, click on the “Open Package…” button to choose a .pkg, .zip, .tar, or .dmg file from which to extract files.
  3. If you would like to try to determine what package, if any, installed a file on your machine, click on the “Analyze Existing Installations” button to check the installer receipts.

If you need help, please choose “Pacifist Help” from the Help menu.
