Mac

Apple Silicon Mac, macOS 11 or later. Signed with a Developer ID.
Clean up your computer without handing it to a stranger.
Cleanerio finds junk, large files, duplicates and unused apps, and shows what fills your disk. It is free, the code is open, and nothing you scan ever leaves your computer.
Ten tools, one window.
Run Smart Scan for a single pass, or open any section on its own.
- Smart Scan
- One pass for junk, threats and slow-downs.
- Cleanup
- Caches, logs, developer leftovers, AI tool clutter, mail downloads, old installers, device backups and the Trash.
- Protection
- Checks login agents, apps, browser extensions and running programs against a threat list. On a Mac it also covers browser privacy traces, saved Wi-Fi networks and app permissions.
- Performance
- Maintenance tasks, login items, background items, and the apps using the most memory.
- Applications
- Uninstall apps together with the files they leave behind. On a Mac, check for app updates and find leftovers of apps you already deleted.
- My Files
- Large and old files, duplicates, similar pictures and downloads.
- Space Map
- A bubble map of what fills each folder. Double-click a bubble to go inside.
- Cloud Files
- Free the local copies of iCloud Drive files while keeping them in the cloud.
- Quick Tools
- One-click fixes, a duplicate finder, screen cleaning mode, and on a Mac a list of open browser tabs.
- Activity
- Mac health and a history of what was cleaned.
Nothing is deleted behind your back.
- Everything you remove goes to the Trash after you confirm. Only “Empty Trash” deletes for good.
- Protected folders, such as your home folder, Library, Documents, Applications and System, can never be moved to the Trash.
- Caches of apps that are running are left alone until you quit the app.
- Threats and app leftovers matched by name only are never ticked for you.
- Nothing is sent anywhere. The one feature that goes online is the Mac app updater, and only when you press “Check for updates”.

About
Cleanerio is made by Min Htet Min Aung, known on GitHub as TaoMonLae, in Kuala Lumpur. It started as a Mac app and now also runs on Linux and Windows. It is written in Rust and drawn with egui, so the same app runs natively on all three.
