      JohnDangerbrooks While still not a perfect alternative, it has many of CCleaner's features and none of its malicious behavior.

      elrey741 really awesome open source alternative, and also allows you to script the cleaning process through the CLI, which helps when you have to do it a lot.

      CleanMyMac X vs CCleaner opinions
      Most users think CleanMyMac X is a great alternative to CCleaner.
      Not a good alternative, seems like a bait and switch company. Got a really bad feeling with their free trial and deleted immediately.

        OnyX vs CCleaner opinions
        Most users think OnyX is a great alternative to CCleaner.
        wonderwarthog Onyx is basically a GUI tool for all the housekeeping tools that macOS has on the command line. It will allow you to reset/clean up and clear most of the caches and tools that are in macOS, but have no dedicated GUI. In so far it is a "safe" choice, because it doesn't do anything that isn't provided for by the OS itself, it just offers a GUI and all the tools in one place. And for free. What's not to love?

        To compare Onyx with CCleaner is like comparing an apple to a CPU. They are incomparable.

        JohnFastman Click&Clean is intended for clearing browsing information (e.g. cookies, LSOs) from your Chrome/Chromium/Opera/Vivaldi or Firefox browser. It is configurable, but doesn't delete temporary files from your computer like CCleaner does. You can use both and benefit in different ways.
