What is MacSweep?

MacSweep is a macOS disk cleaner that reclaims storage space without risking your important files. Unlike traditional Mac cleaners that permanently delete files, MacSweep sends everything to Trash first — giving you 30 days to recover anything. A three-layer safety engine protects system paths, user data directories, and only cleans from an explicit allowlist.

Key features: • 6 cleaning modules: caches, logs, downloads, developer junk (DerivedData, node_modules), large files, app leftovers • Three-layer safety model with hardcoded path protection • Full audit logging of every operation • Beautiful native GUI + CLI for power users • Universal binary (Apple Silicon & Intel) • Apple Notarized — no Gatekeeper warnings • No root required — runs entirely in user space

Pricing: Free tier covers 3 modules up to 500 MB/month. Pro unlocks everything at $1.99/mo, $12.99/yr, or $29.99 lifetime.
