Private browsing doesn't clear your DNS history, clipboard, recent files, or app state. One tap of Cave Mode wipes everything your Mac knows about your session — completely. $19.99 once.
Incognito mode tells your browser not to save history. It doesn't tell your Mac.
Every domain your Mac resolved — regardless of browser mode — is stored in the DNS cache. Anyone who knows where to look can see every site you visited, even in "private" mode. Cave Mode flushes it completely.
Whatever you last copied — a URL, a username, a message — sits in your clipboard until something replaces it. Cave Mode wipes it instantly.
macOS keeps a per-app list of recently opened files, visible in the Dock and every File → Open Recent menu. Cave Mode clears all of them.
Every file you previewed with Space bar left a thumbnail in the QuickLook cache — even if you deleted the original. Cave Mode removes the cache entirely.
macOS saves your session so apps reopen where you left them. That includes browser windows, open tabs, and document positions. Cave Mode clears saved app state.
Every Terminal command you typed is saved to ~/.zsh_history or ~/.bash_history. Cave Mode wipes it.
No settings to configure. No list of checkboxes. One tap.
Tap "Enter Cave Mode" — your screen locks immediately. No one can see what you were doing.
Browse, work, do whatever you need to do. When you're done, come back to CleanMachine.
Tap "Exit Cave Mode." CleanMachine wipes browser history (all browsers), DNS cache, clipboard, recent files, app state, temp files, and shell history. Your Mac has no memory of the session.

Yes. Incognito mode doesn't write to your browser's history database — but your Mac still records DNS lookups (every domain you visited), clipboard contents, recent documents opened in apps, QuickLook thumbnails, and shell history. CleanMachine's Cave Mode clears all of these.
Browser history (all 5 major browsers), DNS cache, clipboard, QuickLook thumbnail cache, recent documents list, app state, temp files, and shell history. It also locks your screen immediately on entry and surfaces a panel to kill any apps with screen recording access.
Yes — Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Brave, and Edge simultaneously.
No. Browser history is separate from cookies (which keep you logged in). Cave Mode targets history, caches, and app state — not cookie files.
