MacOS Cleaner
A free cleaner and uninstaller that shows you everything first.
About MacOS Cleaner
MacOS Cleaner scans 55 categories, from caches and logs to developer toolchains and local AI models, and finds app leftovers and duplicate files for you to review. Caches and logs are deleted after path checks, while uninstalled apps and duplicates go to the Trash. Free and source-available, in 14 languages; needs macOS 26. It isn't notarized, so the first launch needs a Gatekeeper override.
