## What it is
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
