Commercial Mac cleaners charge $40/year on subscription. MacOSCleaner is 100% free, private, and open. If it freed up tens of gigabytes or replaced a paid tool, help keep development independent.

Make MacOSCleaner the best free Mac cleaner (source-available)
Ambitious goal: grow MacOSCleaner into the best free, privacy-first cleaner for Apple Silicon — native SwiftUI, zero telemetry, source-available (GPLv3 + Commons Clause), no ads, no paywalled core features.
Your support funds Apple Developer Program, notarization (so Gatekeeper trusts the DMG), infrastructure, testing, and continued feature work for developers and power users.
The app stays free to download and use. Thank you for helping build something people can trust.
Apple Developer Program ($99/yr)
Our immediate community goal: funding the annual Apple Developer membership to code-sign and notarize releases — eliminating Gatekeeper warnings and sudo xattr terminal workarounds for everyone.
Zero Paywalls & No Telemetry
Commercial cleaners charge $40/year subscriptions and run invasive background daemons. MacOSCleaner has zero locked features, zero analytics, zero network calls during cleanup, and will never monetize your data.
Engineered in Pure Swift 6
Built exclusively for Apple Silicon with Swift 6 structured concurrency and actors. High-speed multi-core scanning across 2,343 cleanup definitions and 304+ apps, running in <30 MB RAM with zero Electron bloat.
Forensic Depth & 14 Languages
A 5-level deep uninstaller with 30 evidence types, continuous rule updates for developer tools (Docker, Xcode, AI CLIs, uv, Cargo), and complete parity across 14 global languages.
