PureMac is a free, open-source, native SwiftUI macOS cleaner and app uninstaller with zero telemetry, serving as a CleanMyMac alternative. It removes apps with leftover files, finds orphans, and cleans system, Xcode, Homebrew, npm, and Docker caches, always moving files to Trash rather than deleting them.

Use cases

  • free up disk space on my mac
  • completely uninstall apps with leftover files
  • clean xcode deriveddata and caches
  • clear homebrew and npm cache junk
  • find large old files taking up space
  • open-source cleanmymac alternative without subscription
  • schedule automatic mac cleaning
  • remove orphan files from deleted apps

When to choose

  • you want a free, MIT-licensed Mac cleaner with no subscription or telemetry
  • you need to uninstall apps along with all their leftover preferences, caches, and launch agents
  • you're a developer wanting to reclaim space from Xcode, Homebrew, npm, or Docker caches
  • you prefer deletions that go to Trash so mistakes are recoverable

When to avoid

  • you need deep system maintenance tools like OnyX's hidden settings and verification features
  • you require Windows or Linux support - it's macOS 13.0+ only
  • you want a cleaner with subscription-based premium support or advanced optimization features
