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!

Great reliable software. Cleanse up my Mac every time without fail. I recommend this product...

This software is very useful to sort out problems. When the apple server software did not start properly after updating, I used MacCleanse to deinstall the server and reinstalled it again and then it worked. I tried other routes before but MacCleanse early helped.

I rely on MacCleanse. It runs automatically every day. I trust that my MacBook is running as efficiently as possible because of it.

I bought my first Koingo product as part of a MacUpdate bundle and really liked it, so when I got a special offer to subscribe to the entire product line with updates included it was a no-brainer. I use MacCleanse 5 most often to keep caches clear mostly, and also to clean up underhanded persistent cookies. I have had some problems with crashes during updates, so rather than new features I'd like to see fixes for the minor but annoying bugs. I've seen a list of suggested additional features and some look interesting so I'm looking forward to see which ones are implemented. I don't know where this will be posted but I clicked on the link to "Rate MacCleanse 5." I wasn't prepared for "my story" which is pretty dull.

Easy to use and understand. I didn't need a manual, and everything just made sense. I wasn't scared to accidentally wipe my documents and photos.
Luther Wick
Did the Mac thing for my last laptop with IBM and was able to acquire my MacBook Air when I retired. Now I'm not a Apple Fan Boy, but the Air is functional and the OS is quite useable. As with most vendors, the utilities provided with the OS are limited in scope and generally take a bit of scripting or coding to create routine maintenance capabilities. One of those routine maintenance items is cleaning up the junk that accumulates over time, fortunately I found MacCleanse early on and it is now my tool of choice to insure that I haven't let the bits and pieces get away from me. I recommend taking a look at MacCleanse if you are a Mac user, it works, it's easy to use, and really does the job.
