The row of module icons at the bottom of the main diCleaner window is the module shortcut bar. It provides direct access to tools you use frequently without changing categories in the main sidebar first.

The shortcut bar may look similar to the macOS Dock, but it belongs only to diCleaner. Adding or removing an icon does not change the macOS Dock, install or uninstall a tool, or start a scan.

Open a tool

Move the pointer over an icon to see the module name, then select it to open that tool. Opening a module does not begin cleanup or approve a removal automatically.

If more shortcuts are present than the window can display, scroll horizontally or use the left and right edge controls to reach additional icons.

Add a module

Open the category that contains the module. In the lower-left corner of its module card, select the heart button labeled Add to Favorites. The module is added to the shortcut bar.

Only modules available in the current diCleaner edition and build can appear. If a feature is unavailable, adding its shortcut does not make the feature available.

Remove a module

Find the module card and select the filled heart button in its lower-left corner, labeled Remove from Favorites. This removes only the shortcut. It does not remove the module, its settings, scan results, or files.

Reorder shortcuts

Drag an icon left or right within the shortcut bar, then release it in the preferred position. The order is saved for later sessions.

When the bar contains more icons than fit in the window, move through the bar before dragging an item to a distant position. A normal click opens the module; begin dragging before moving the pointer if you intend to reorder it.

Shared shortcut order

The shortcut selection and order can also be used by the supported diCleaner Menu companion. Changes made in the main app are shared with the menu component when that component and edition support the same module.

An unavailable module may be omitted from one edition even if it was previously present in the saved shortcut order.

If the bar does not update

Return to the module card and confirm whether its heart is selected. If the shortcut still does not appear:

  1. Close any focused module panel.
  2. Change the window width and check whether the icon is outside the visible part of the bar.
  3. Quit and reopen diCleaner.
  4. Confirm that you are running the intended app edition and copy.
