The traditional "macOS Maintenance" market is a monopoly. Companies charge recurring $80/year subscriptions for apps that perform basic system cleanups. That ends today.
CleanMyMacbook is a completely free, highly advanced System Auditing Dashboard. It doesn't just clean caches—it exposes hidden operations running on your machine natively.
Developing natively across architectures requires deep cross-compiling hardware that I simply don't have. I only use and test on Intel (x64) hardware natively.
Building, verifying, and packaging the Apple Silicon (ARM64) version of CleanMyMacbook organically required renting cloud computing infrastructure and massive architectural adjustments. If you are running a modern M-Series processor and want the 100% native, ultra-fast Silicon build of this application, you can purchase the proprietary Silicon ARM .dmg version exclusively on my Ko-Fi Store below!
The standard Intel (x64) build attached to the releases tab below remains 100% free.
I didn't stop at emptying the trash. CleanMyMacbook provides genuine intelligence:
- Active Network Sockets: See exactly which applications are actively holding network connections open to the internet on your personal computer.
- Process Verification: Scans background processes and identifies untrusted background trackers that are consuming your resources silently.
- Native Startup Daemons: Exposes the hidden frameworks aggressively forcing themselves to run quietly every time you turn your MacBook on.
- Leftover Installers: Locates massive, forgotten installers wasting gigabytes of space on your drive.
- Raw Administrator Maintenance: Executes real, deep system maintenance commands that actually force macOS to optimize itself, rather than simulating it.
This repository contains the standalone executable application.
- Download the
CleanMyMacbook.dmgexecutable. - Open it and drag the
.appinto your Applications folder. - Note: If you receive a security prompt on your first launch, simply right-click the Application and select "Open" manually.
Maximize Power: Ensure you go to
System Settings > Privacy & Security > Full Disk Accessand explicitly grant CleanMyMacbook permissions to let it natively scan the entire system!
Building software that directly challenges multi-million dollar corporate markets takes intense effort.
If this application saves your gigabytes, identifies an unwanted tracking app on your laptop, or you simply love that you don't have to pay a monthly subscription anymore, please consider supporting the development!
