Cleanup
A complete maintenance suite that always shows its work.
Fifteen tools in one window, from caches and leftovers to startup items and storage maps. Every scan ends in a review with exact paths and sizes, and Trash is the default destination.
Interactive illustration with sample values.
What it does
- One full scan across every cleanup category, with complete, partial, and unavailable states shown honestly
- Exact paths, sizes, and the reason each item is a candidate
- Move to Trash by default, with in-app restore history after restarts
- Running apps, active projects, and system locations are protected
- Permanent removal is a separate, explicitly acknowledged action
- Administrative maintenance stays disabled until you approve it in macOS
- Access
- Reviewed actions
- Where you find it
- Own windowCommand Center
- Permissions
- Works without extra permissions and reports what it could not read. Full Disk Access widens some scopes; administrative tasks need a signed helper you approve in System Settings.
Tools
Clean
Full scan
Runs every cleanup inventory at once and hands you one combined review.
System junk
App caches and logs, old downloads, disk images, simulator data, unused languages, and more.
Mail attachments
Locally cached attachment copies. Original messages are never touched.
Trash bins
Trash contents, item by item, reviewed before any permanent removal.
Developer artifacts
Build folders, DerivedData, package caches, and disposable environments.
Protect
Malware scan
Uses ClamAV if you install it, with signed definitions. An empty database never counts as a clean Mac.
Privacy
Browser history, sessions, and saved form data, plus app permissions and known networks.
Speed
Startup & background items
Login and background agents with real CPU and memory figures and reviewed controls.
Maintenance tasks
Nine native tasks with exact previews. Administrative ones require your approval.
Applications
Uninstaller
Removes an app together with the support files positively identified as its own.
App updates
Checks the App Store, developer update feeds, and Homebrew against the versions you have installed.
Extensions
Installed extensions and plug-ins, with the enable, disable, and remove controls macOS supports.
Files
Storage map
A navigable, hierarchical view of what is using your disk.
Large & old files
Group by type, size, or last access; Quick Look, move to a folder, or Trash.
Shredder
Confirmed permanent deletion, with an honest note about the limits of erasure on SSDs.
Deliberate limits
- No memory "cleaning" or vague speed-up claims.
- No automatic deletion: nothing moves without a review.
- Kernel and system caches stay protected.
Private beta
Help shape a calmer way to look after your Mac.
A small group of testers is using MacUtilityHub before its public release. See what the beta includes and what it needs to run.
