Every Mac accumulates gigabytes of junk that macOS never cleans up automatically โ old caches, logs, temp files, browser junk, language packs, and forgotten downloads. CleanMachine finds it all and removes it safely.
macOS 13+ ยท Apple Silicon & Intel ยท Scanning always free
CleanMachine's Smart Scan runs all these categories in parallel. Most scans finish in under 60 seconds.
Every app stores cache files in ~/Library/Caches. On a typical Mac these accumulate to 3โ10 GB over time and are completely safe to remove.
macOS and apps write logs to ~/Library/Logs and /private/var/log. After a few years these files can fill gigabytes of space. Removing them doesn't affect performance.
Files sitting in the macOS Trash waiting for you to empty it. CleanMachine can include your Trash contents in the batch clean.
Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and Brave each maintain separate disk caches. Combined, these typically reach 2โ8 GB on a regularly used Mac.
Installer packages, temp extraction folders, and other download artifacts that apps leave behind after installation.
.lproj translation folders for languages you'll never use. Every app ships with 40+ languages โ CleanMachine removes all but your active language.
Cached iOS firmware and app update files that macOS stores locally. These are safe to remove and often take several GB.
Categorizes your Downloads folder by type (installers, archives, documents, media) and age. Auto-selects .dmg installers older than 30 days as safe to delete.
Files in Documents, Downloads, Desktop, and Movies not accessed in 1+ years โ sorted by age bucket (1โ2 years, 2โ3 years, 3+ years).
CleanMachine's scheduler runs cleaning automatically on a daily, weekly, or monthly schedule.
Pick daily, weekly, or monthly. Choose the time and which categories to auto-clean.
Cleaning runs automatically in the background. Files go to CleanMachine Trash โ always recoverable.
macOS notification tells you how much was cleaned and what was removed. Full transparency.
Download CleanMachine and run Smart Scan. Free scan shows every junk category with exact sizes. Pay $19.99 once to clean it all up โ with optional scheduled auto-cleaning included.

The Trash only holds files you explicitly moved there. CleanMachine finds hidden system junk: app caches, language packs, system logs, browser caches, iOS update files, and temp files โ none of which appear in the Trash. These are the files macOS never cleans up for you.
Yes. Smart Scan shows every category with checkboxes. You can select or deselect categories before cleaning. For example, you might want to clean caches and logs but skip browser history.
Files CleanMachine removes go to CleanMachine Trash (a folder in ~/.cleanmachine_trash/), not your macOS Trash and not permanent deletion. From the CleanMachine Trash view, you can restore any file to its original location at any time. Files are only permanently gone when you explicitly "Empty CleanMachine Trash."
