Pearcleaner is a free, source-available, fair-code licensed macOS application cleaner for fully uninstalling apps and finding orphaned files. It also includes a development environment manager and file search, though active development is currently on hold.

Use cases

  • find orphaned files left behind by deleted apps
  • free open-source alternative to AppCleaner
  • clean uninstall macos applications
  • manage development environments on mac
  • search for app-related files on macos

When to avoid

  • you need actively maintained software with timely bug fixes and new macOS support
  • you require a strictly OSI-approved open-source license (it is fair-code licensed)
  • you need Windows or Linux support
