What you get

You can clean up your Mac and see what needs attention.

You get one place to check which apps are outdated, review files taking up storage, and identify apps consuming CPU or memory. You can compare installed and available versions and read release notes before updating. Apps with their own updaters open so you can finish there; App Store updates on current macOS versions require the free mas tool.

You can clear caches, old downloads, logs, and developer leftovers after reviewing their sizes, locations, and cleanup guidance. When uninstalling an app, you see its related files before they move to the Trash and can keep anything you still need.

You can keep system gauges in your menu bar or on your desktop and set alert thresholds. If you use Homebrew, you can browse packages, install updates, and preview cleanup without working through Terminal commands. You can also review launch agents and disable ones running under your account that you no longer need.

  • Know what needs updating

  • Remove related app files

    You can trash an app alongside its associated files, while keeping anything you choose.

  • Spot resource-heavy apps

    You can see which apps use the most CPU and memory, and watch system activity from your menu bar.

  • Handle Homebrew visually

    You can browse packages, apply updates, and review planned cleanup without typing Homebrew commands.

Best for

  • You want one place for routine Mac maintenance
  • You need to review accumulated developer files
  • You use Homebrew but prefer visual controls
