What is MacCare - Mac Cleaner?

MacCare is a native macOS system cleaner built with safety as the core principle. Unlike traditional Mac cleaners that select everything for deletion, MacCare assigns a color-coded risk level to every single item: green (safe), yellow (low impact), orange (caution), red (risky). Only safe items are selected by default.

Key features include:

  • Smart Cleanup scanning 8 junk categories in parallel (caches, logs, temp files, app remnants, duplicates, downloads, mail attachments, system junk)
  • Interactive TreeMap disk visualizer showing exactly where your storage went
  • Complete app uninstaller detecting remnants across 9 categories (caches, preferences, containers, launch agents, logs, saved state, cookies, application support, other)
  • Startup optimizer for Login Items, LaunchAgents, and system daemons
  • Menu bar monitor with always-visible disk space indicator
  • Audio Producer Mode that protects Logic Pro, Kontakt, Soundtoys, Ableton, Pro Tools, and all DAW-related files with one toggle
  • Hardcoded safety whitelist preventing deletion of Documents, Photos, Music, Mail, and SSH keys
  • Full Trash put-back support via native Finder integration
  • Activity log tracking every cleanup action
  • English and German language support

Built with SwiftUI, signed and notarized by Apple. Available at $29/year or $69 lifetime with a 7-day free trial.
