What it does

Overview

Disk health, reclaimable space by group and what you have already freed, on one screen.

Cleaning in 16 categories

Caches, logs, development leftovers, browsers, old downloads, large files and duplicates.

Uninstaller

Lists each app with what it left around your Library and moves everything to the Trash.

Maintenance

Flushes the DNS cache and frees purgeable space when the system is slow to give it back.

Smart cleaning screen, with the categories and the risk level of each one
Every category shows its risk level. Open one to pick item by item.

Built not to delete what it shouldn't

A cleaner deletes files. These are the guards.

Scanning only reads

Nothing leaves the disk before you review the list and confirm.

Only the safe is pre-selected

Anything moderate or risky waits for your choice, and risky items ask for an extra confirmation.

You can do a dry run

The dry run option walks through everything without deleting.

The system is off limits

Paths like /System and /usr are refused and never even listed.

Uninstalling is reversible

Apps go to the Trash, where you can put them back.

Cleaning a category is permanent: files do not go through the Trash.

Install

  1. Download the installer for your Mac and open the .dmg file.
  2. Drag MacleanFy to the Applications folder.
  3. Open the app. The installer is signed and notarized by Apple: the first time, macOS only asks you to confirm opening an app downloaded from the internet.

Based on mac-cleaner-cli

MacleanFy's scanners and safety rules come from mac-cleaner-cli by guhcostan, released under the MIT license. MacleanFy adds the graphical interface. If you prefer the terminal, use the original project.
