01

See where space goes

A pie chart shows what's using your space, plus a size ranking of your folders.

02

Usage summary

A recap of how you've been using your Mac lately and what generated the space.

03

Feed it and it's gone

Check what's safe to eat and feed. It always asks first — nothing is deleted without your approval.

04

Feeding schedule

Looks for snacks in the background on a schedule and reminds you when there's enough to eat.

more ways to clean

Beyond the safe auto-clean list, these help you dig out even more space.

clear big files in bulk

Find your biggest space hogs, tick several and Trash them together — in-use items like Docker are cleaned safely their own way.

screenshots & duplicates

One whole-Mac scan finds stray screenshots and byte-identical duplicates; keep one copy and clear the rest.

preview before you delete

Preview images, video and audio right inside the app — arrow left/right through copies, up/down between sets, then decide.

one-click in-app updates

When a new version ships, the app tells you and updates itself in place — no re-downloading or reinstalling.

Three steps to start

1

Sign up

Register with an email and download right away.

2

Download

Get the DMG and drag it into Applications.

3

Scan, then feed

Open it, scan, and feed what's safe to eat.

Built for people who build

Coding with AI eats disks fast — every vibe-coded project leaves behind a node_modules, model caches and build output. MacCleaner knows what these are, whether they can be rebuilt, and when you last touched them.

Knows developer junk

node_modules, DerivedData, .venv, Ollama and Hugging Face models, npm / pnpm / bun / cargo caches — only things your tools can rebuild.

Ranked by idle time

“This project has sat for 8 months” beats “1.2 GB” as a reason to delete. Projects still in use are flagged red so you don't reinstall tomorrow.

Trash first, never gone

Project folders go to the Trash, not into the void. Put anything back until you empty it.

your data stays on your mac

MacCleaner needs nothing beyond your account email. Scanning, analysis and cleanup all happen locally.

100% on-device

Every scan and cleanup runs on your Mac. No cloud, no server ever looks at your files.

nothing is uploaded

File contents, lists and scan results never leave this computer. Only your sign-up email is used — for downloads and update notices.

permissions stay local

Full Disk Access just lets Gulp read your disk to find junk — it only touches caches and trash, never your personal files, and never sends them anywhere.

notarized by Apple

Every build is signed with a Developer ID and scanned by Apple's notary for malware before it reaches you.

no tracking, no analytics, no leaks — Gulp eats junk, not your data.

FAQ

Why does macOS say the developer can't be verified?

It's notarized by Apple, so just open the DMG, drag it to Applications, and launch — no security warning. All scanning and cleaning happen locally on your Mac.

Is cleaning safe? Could it delete something important?

Anything marked "safe to eat" is cache and logs that rebuild themselves. Items marked "have a look" (old downloads, iOS backups) are off by default and moved to the Trash, not deleted. Anything "not food" is never touched. It always confirms before feeding.

How is the usage summary generated?

MacCleaner looks at files and caches that changed recently and groups them by source. Everything is analyzed locally — nothing is uploaded.

How does the schedule work?

It uses macOS launchd to scan in the background on your chosen cadence (no need to keep the app open) and reminds you when there's more than your threshold to eat. Manage it in System Settings → General → Login Items.

Which Macs are supported?

macOS 13 Ventura or later, on both Apple Silicon (M series) and Intel.
