Everything you need to keep your Mac clean

Powerful tools, honest approach. No hidden actions, no surprises.

Smart Scan & Cleanup

Scans 11 categories — caches, logs, downloads, browser data, Xcode, and more. Everything grouped by risk level. You review before anything is removed.

App Uninstaller

Find and remove apps along with their leftover files. Confidence scoring tells you exactly what's safe to delete.

Developer Tools

Clean up Xcode DerivedData, simulators, archives, and 38+ package manager caches — npm, pip, Cargo, Gradle, and more.

Large File Scanner

Find files eating your disk space. Organized by type — videos, archives, disk images, VMs. Threshold from 100 MB.

Duplicate Finder

Progressive SHA-256 hashing finds duplicates fast. Smart suggestions: keep newest, oldest, or shortest path.

Storage Map

Interactive radial and tree visualizations of your disk usage. See what's consuming space and clean it up directly.

macOS Tweaks

21 toggleable preferences: show hidden files, speed up the Dock, change screenshot format, and more. One-click revert.

Maintenance Tasks

9 guided tasks: rebuild Spotlight, flush DNS, clear Quick Look cache, enable Touch ID for sudo. Safe and sandboxed.

Browser Cleanup

Clean caches from Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Brave, Edge, and Arc. Per-browser size detection and selective cleanup.

Startup Items

Inspect and manage Login Items and LaunchAgents. See what launches at startup, from Apple or third party.

Audit Trail

Complete log of every cleanup session — what was scanned, moved to trash, or deleted. Full transparency.

Privacy First

Fully sandboxed. No telemetry. No data leaves your Mac. Trash by default — permanent delete needs explicit confirmation.

How it works

Grant Access

Choose which folders CleanMyMacOS can scan via the standard macOS file picker. Access is stored as secure bookmarks.

2

Scan & Review

Smart Scan finds reclaimable space across 11 categories. Everything is shown with risk levels and sizes before you decide.

3

Clean Up

Selected items are moved to Trash by default. You can undo at any time. A full audit trail is saved for your records.
