Kudu 3.13.0 for Mac
Mac UtilitiesKudu is a free system cleaner that takes a refreshingly plain approach. One download gives you a set of tools to clear out junk files, tidy up storage and adjust privacy related settings, and it does all of that without ads, bundled extras or an account wall. The project is open source under the MIT licence, so anyone can read the code and see exactly what a scan will touch. Updated Aug 16, 2026.

FAQs
Is Kudu really free?
Yes. The desktop app is free and open source. The vendor also offers a separate paid dashboard for managing many business machines, but home users do not need it.
Will Kudu delete files without asking?
No. Scans report what they find first, and the rule sets are written in a readable format, so you can review a category before you let the tool clean it.
Does Kudu replace an antivirus?
No. It includes basic file checks, but it is not a real time antivirus engine. Keep your usual security software in place alongside it.
