No subscriptions. No noise.
Just space to think.

Quiet Presence

CleanMac sits gently in your menu bar. No pop-ups, no demands. It watches your storage and gives a soft nudge only when it truly matters.

Safety First

We never delete without your permission. All Safe Clean targets are automatically regenerating files. Your photos and memories are always untouchable.

Fully Offline

Everything happens locally. No data ever leaves your machine. Your privacy isn't a feature, it's our foundation.

Choose your rhythm

From a light daily refresh to a deep seasonal clearing.

Daily Ritual

Getting started

1

Place your app

Download and move CleanMac.app to your Applications folder. It's a single, self-contained file.

2

The first handshake

Right-click CleanMac and select "Open" to allow macOS to trust the app. This is a one-time gesture for your privacy.

3

Grant space access

Optionally enable Full Disk Access in your System Settings if you want CleanMac to help with emptying your Trash.

Gentle clarity

Is it safe for my files?

Absolutely. CleanMac only targets caches, logs, and temporary files. It never touches your documents, photos, or personal projects.

Will it slow down my Mac?

Cleaning caches might make some apps open slightly slower the very first time as they rebuild their data. After that, your Mac will often feel more responsive due to the reclaimed space.

Does it need the internet?

Never. CleanMac works entirely offline. No data is sent anywhere, ever.
