# MacClean for Mac

> A cleaner that knows where WeChat, QQ and AI models hide gigabytes.

MacClean looks through WeChat, QQ and WeCom media, System Data, Xcode and npm caches and local AI models from Ollama, Hugging Face and LM Studio, and lists everything for review before it deletes. Since version 1.6 every feature is free for personal and internal business use, with no trial or device limit, and the source is on GitHub under its own community license. In English and Chinese. It isn't notarized, so the first launch needs a Gatekeeper override.
