+# auto-snapclean-listener
+
+A small macOS utility script that automatically deletes all local Time Machine snapshots once they are created.  
+It is useful for users who do not want macOS to keep local snapshots and prefer to rely only on external Time Machine backups.
+
+⚠️ Tested on **macOS Tahoe**. Other versions may work, but are not guaranteed.
+
+---
+
+## Features
+
+- Listens for local Time Machine snapshot creation events.  
+- Waits until the backup process is finished (avoids conflicts).  
+- Automatically deletes all local snapshots afterwards.  
+- Lightweight: no constant polling, event-driven.  
+
