CleanMyMac for Mac
Mac UtilitiesCleanMyMac is MacPaw's flagship Mac maintenance app, built exclusively for macOS since 2009. It combines several utilities into one window: junk cleanup that removes caches, logs, and system waste; a malware scanner powered by MacPaw's Moonlock technology; an uninstaller that removes apps with their leftover files; and a Space Lens disk visualizer that shows what's eating your storage. Because every build is notarized by Apple and the app is also sold on the Mac App Store, it's one of the safest cleanup tools you can install on a Mac.
CleanMyMac isn't free — plans start with a monthly subscription, a yearly plan, or a one-time purchase — but MacPaw offers a 7-day free trial that unlocks the full feature set so you can evaluate it properly before paying. The app requires macOS 11 (Big Sur) or later and runs on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.
