Unparalleled Power
MacCleanse is the product of thousands of hours of intense research and development. It meticulously scans all of the nooks and crannies of a computer for unnecessary junk that can take up huge amounts of disk space!
Because of this, Apps in MacCleanse are also uninstalled correctly, catching the numerous logs, caches, plugins, and other resources left behind versus simply dragging them to the Trash.
Your privacy is protected and computer performance enhanced by MacCleanse as it wipes your web and app histories, and can toggle resource-hungry extensions!
MacCleanse can be configured to run daily, weekly, or monthly on a recurring schedule to ensure scans are performed regularly! No schedule set? It'll still remind you once in a while!
MacCleanse will prompt you to complete uninstall an app if you're incorrectly dragging it to the Trash.
Specify files and folders that should never get touched during a cleanup, or files that should always be erased.
Safe & Secure
Enhanced with the security of some of the most complex algorithms in the industry, MacCleanse ensures the data you want to keep is protected from erasure, while everything else is wiped! Detailed scan results also allow you to completely review what is to be removed prior to erasure.
Choose from a variety of erasure types from quick and simple to military grade. Ensure files are never undeleted even with the most powerful recovery tools!

I have been using the MacClease since it was first created. When I call it a day, I always run the MacCleanse every single day for tomorrow. I love to use the MacCleanse because it makes me feel new and fresh to use my work with computers.

MacCleanse does everything I expect a cleaner should do. I use the app delete feature to remove all unwanted leftovers a deleted app may leave behind. As cleaner MacCleanse removes collected clutter from browsing history in addition to duplicate files, old and outdated documents, large files, and web extensions that are easily accessible via drop-down box. MacCleanse has a startup setting that displays all running applications when computer starts. Sometimes an app will gain permission to run at startup without your knowledge. MacCleanse startup stetting displays all applications that start when computer is turned on for you to determine what to keep or dispose of.

The best part is the security erasing of files since Apple no longer (and I guess never did) securely erases files.
