MacCare finds and removes up to 20 GB of hidden junk like old caches, broken logs and forgotten duplicates. Your Mac runs faster with more free space, in under 2 minutes.
MacCare scans 8 categories of system junk, finds duplicates, manages startup items and shows exactly where your storage went. Built-in safety makes sure nothing important gets deleted.
Scans 8 junk categories in parallel with color-coded risk indicators for every item. Only safe items are selected by default, so you stay in control.
See exactly where your storage went with an interactive TreeMap. Click into folders, color-coded by file type, with protected paths clearly marked.
A built-in whitelist protects your Documents, Photos, Music, Mail and SSH keys. Every deleted file goes to Trash with full Put-Back support, never permanently removed.
Removes apps along with all their hidden remnants: caches, preferences, containers, launch agents and logs. Finds what Finder misses.
Manage Login Items, LaunchAgents and system daemons. Toggle items on or off with impact indicators to keep your Mac booting fast.
A small, always-visible disk space indicator in your menu bar. One click for a quick scan, plus your last cleanup stats at a glance.
