A disk gauge that tells the truth
Used, purgeable, snapshot-held and free, so you can see why deleting files does not always free space.
MACLEANUP FOR MAC
The same sections, in a window.
The app runs the macleanup script on your Mac. It adds a disk gauge that counts snapshot-held space, a dry-run ledger you can read path by path, and a receipt for every run.
Download for macOS
One disk image for Apple silicon and Intel Macs.
The first time you open it
- Open the disk imageDrag macleanup into Applications.
- If macOS will not open itmacleanup is not signed with an Apple developer certificate yet. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security and choose Open Anyway. You do this once.
- Allow Full Disk AccessOptional. Without it, protected folders are skipped and the receipt says so.
What the window adds.
Every section, profile and safety rule is the same as the command line. The app makes each step visible.
A ledger before every run
Every path and size. Rows that may be the only copy get keep, archive or delete.
A receipt after every run
Attempted, completed, skipped and failed, counted separately, with before and after free space.
Apps and their leftovers
Bundles, support folders, containers and helpers, with protected items explained.
Both launch domains
Your account's agents and the system's daemons and root Homebrew services, side by side.
Nothing leaves your Mac
No analytics. Signed in, only run numbers sync; file paths never do.
Prefer the command line?
Nothing changes for npx macleanup. The app and the command share one history in ~/.macleanup/.
