Why DiskCleaner Exists
Most cleaner apps try to make the decision for you. They scan, announce that they found several gigabytes, and encourage you to remove it all. We built DiskCleaner because we wanted to inspect those files first. Visibility and reversibility come before automation.
How the Product Is Designed
- Show every file before anything moves.
- Use macOS Trash as the safety model, not permanent deletion.
- Keep the app local-first and lightweight.
- Focus on the cleanup jobs Mac users actually need.
What DiskCleaner Covers
DiskCleaner scans 16+ cleanup categories and targeted locations, including caches, logs, screenshots, .DS_Store files, Trash contents, developer data, large files, backups, external storage, and leftover files from removed apps. It also includes tools such as app uninstallation support and a menu bar disk-space view so users can act on storage pressure more quickly. For deeper walkthroughs, see our guides on freeing up storage on Mac, what System Data on Mac means, the best app uninstallers for Mac, and which Xcode folders are safe to delete.
Privacy and Safety Stance
Scanning and cleaning happen on your Mac. You review cleanup actions before they run, and normal removals go to Trash instead of disappearing permanently.
