MacCleaner is a trust-first storage assistant for your Mac. It scans read-only, shows you exactly what's safe to recover, and Scout — your built-in AI helper — explains every recommendation and answers your questions. Nothing is ever deleted automatically.
/ 01 — the flow
Three simple steps. Scout walks you through each one — you stay in control the whole time.
01
One click analyzes cache, logs, downloads, developer junk, and clutter — locally and read-only. Nothing is touched.
02
Results are grouped by real-world problem and by risk. Open any group to see exactly what's inside — Scout explains what's safe and why.
03
Choose what to remove, then confirm: move to Trash (recoverable) or delete permanently. Your call, every time.
/ 02 — coverage
Temporary files apps recreate.
Items already in the Trash.
Old installers & archives.
Big files you may have forgotten.
Xcode, npm, pnpm, Gradle caches.
Regenerated on next device connect.
Unavailable Xcode simulators.
Inspect where space really goes.
/ 03 — why it's safe
MacCleaner only cleans what you select and confirm. Danger paths can't even be selected.
Move files to Trash and recover them from Finder, or delete permanently to free space now. Always your choice.
Your files are scanned on your Mac. Names and paths never leave it.
No fake "infected" warnings, no RAM-boost myths. Scout only explains real, measured space — and never invents problems.

Scanning and Scout are always free and unlimited. Upgrade only when you clean a lot.

/ 06 — faq
Yes. It never deletes anything automatically, moves files to Trash by default, and protects system-critical and personal paths — those can't even be selected.
No. Every cleanup is analyze → review → confirm. Nothing is removed without your approval.
Scout is your built-in AI helper. It narrates the scan, explains what each group is and why it's safe to recover, and answers your questions about your Mac's storage — always honest, never pushy.
No. MacCleaner frees disk space — it makes no false performance or "memory boost" claims.
Yes. Scanning is local-first and runs entirely on your Mac.
Unlimited read-only scans, Scout's full AI help, and up to 500 MB of cleanup per day. Pro removes the daily cap for unlimited cleanup.
It's mostly caches, logs, dev junk, and leftovers — exactly what the System Data Inspector helps you understand and clear.
Yes. Cleanups land in MacCleaner's recoverable Trash first — restore any item until you choose to empty it.
Our blog has practical guides: what System Data actually is, clearing caches safely, and reclaiming Xcode's disk space.
