SOMEONE BUILT A FREE CLEANMYMAC KILLER. ZERO TELEMETRY, ZERO SUBSCRIPTIONS, ZERO DATA COLLECTION. IT'S CALLED PUREMAC.
Every other macOS cleaner has a catch:
- CleanMyMac charges $40/year and tracks everything you do
- MacCleaner Pro is closed source, you have no idea what's running
- DiskDiag barely does anything and none of it is automated
- everything else wants your money or your data
PureMac wants neither. Here's what it actually cleans:
- Xcode junk that balloons your storage without you noticing
- Homebrew cache silently piling up for months
- system caches and logs macOS never bothers clearing itself
- orphaned files from apps you deleted ages ago
- mail attachments, trash, old files sitting there doing nothing
- scheduled auto-cleaning so you never have to think about it again
Native SwiftUI. Menu bar integration. No Electron. No web wrappers. Feels like a Mac app because it actually is one.
The developer looked at every option available, realized they all either charged you or spied on you, and decided to build the one that does neither.
This is what open source is supposed to look like.
