Whatever you're into — your Mac shouldn't be keeping score. Turn on Cave Mode, do what you do, turn it off. Everything's gone. History, caches, that thing you copied, all of it. Clean slate.
Open CleanMachine, tap Cave Mode. Your Mac goes into private session. Do whatever you need to do — browse, research, stream, explore. We're not watching.
Whatever it is. Completely your business. Your Mac might be judging you a little — that's why we built Cave Mode. We're not.
Tap Exit Cave Mode. CleanMachine wipes everything automatically. Browser history (all five browsers), DNS cache, clipboard, thumbnails, app state, recent files. Spotless.
Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Brave, Edge — history, caches, downloads list, search suggestions. All of them. One shot.
Your Mac keeps a log of every domain it looked up — separate from browser history, invisible to incognito. Cave Mode flushes it.
That last thing you copied — URL, text, image, whatever — gone. The clipboard holds one thing until it's overwritten. Cave Mode wipes it directly.
Every file you previewed with the space bar left a cached thumbnail on disk — even if the file is deleted. Gone.
macOS tracks recently opened files in the Apple menu and in every app. Cave Mode clears all of it — no trail in Finder or anywhere else.
macOS saves your open windows so apps restore where you left off. Cave Mode clears session state so there's nothing to restore.
Download CleanMachine free. The scan is always free. Cave Mode and everything else: $19.99 once — no subscription, ever.

No. Cave Mode clears history, caches, DNS, clipboard, QuickLook thumbnails, and app session data — not your saved passwords or login cookies. You stay logged into your accounts.
Browsers only clear their own history. Cave Mode also wipes the DNS cache (records every domain your Mac resolved, regardless of browser or incognito mode), the clipboard (whatever you last copied), QuickLook thumbnail cache, app state, and recent file lists in macOS — none of which browser privacy modes touch.
No. Cave Mode leaves no log of its own activity. When it's done, the history is gone — there's nothing to find.
