New design · version 2.6 for macOS
CleanCache finds system junk, large and forgotten files, duplicates and app leftovers — and, for developers, Xcode simulators, node_modules and package caches. You see everything before it’s removed.
macOS 14.6 or later · Apple silicon & Intel
Features
Each tool shows what it found and how big it is. You choose what goes.
One scan finds caches, logs and temporary files that apps leave behind.
An interactive map of your disk — click a ring to dive into any folder.
The 200 biggest files in your home folder, with filters and “not used in” dates.
Removes an app together with its caches, preferences and support files.
Finds byte-for-byte identical files — even with different names.
Cache, cookies and history for every browser you have installed.
For developers
Xcode, Android Studio, package managers and old projects quietly use tens of gigabytes. CleanCache has a separate Developer section, so everyday users never see these tools by accident.
iOS simulators, device support files, Android AVDs and duplicate SDK versions.
Every package manager's download cache in one list.
Rebuildable dependency folders from projects you haven't touched in months.
VMs, Docker data, AI models and databases — kept out of the everyday Large Files list.
And more
Old device backups and iOS update files, with the latest backup marked.
“Remove Download” for big iCloud files — nothing is deleted.
Opened attachment copies and mailbox attachments, by size.
Your Trash and Downloads, sorted by size, with installers and archives grouped.
Reminders to clean, free space in your menu bar, and an alert when the disk is almost full.
Privacy & safety
CleanCache runs in Apple’s app sandbox and only reaches folders you allow. Scans happen on your Mac. Anonymous usage counts help improve the app — never file names or paths — and you can switch them off in Settings.

Documents, apps, backups and duplicates go to the Trash.
System folders and the newest backups are never pre-selected.
Developer caches live in their own section.
See how CleanCache compares — and when another tool might suit you better.
Yes. CleanCache is sandboxed and distributed through the Mac App Store. It shows you what it found and asks before removing anything, and most tools move items to the Trash so you can put them back.
If you mainly want to free up disk space — junk, large and duplicate files, app leftovers, browser data — CleanCache covers that, and it goes further for developers with Xcode, simulators, node_modules and package caches.
No. Scanning happens on your Mac. CleanCache only sends anonymous usage counts (which tools are used and how much space is cleaned), never file names or paths, and you can turn that off in Settings.
Mac App Store apps are sandboxed. To scan your caches and files, macOS asks you to grant access once. Some locations (Mail, Safari, iPhone backups) also need Full Disk Access.
Macs with Apple silicon and Intel running macOS 14.6 or later.
It depends on your Mac. Typical everyday Macs free several gigabytes; developer Macs with Xcode, simulators and old projects often free tens of gigabytes.
