Sweep
Mac Cleaner & OptimizerClean & optimize your Mac, safely
Sweep reclaims disk space on your Mac without the anxiety that comes with automatic cleaners. Nothing is ever deleted on its own: Sweep scans, explains what it found in plain language, shows exactly how much space each item would free, and waits for you to select and confirm. Smart scanners cover macOS system leftovers, apps and media, and developer clutter such as caches, stale backups, old installers, uninstalled-app leftovers, simulators, and container images, with keep-newest and keep-active protection so you can always see what survives. Optimize mode adds live CPU and memory insight so you can safely quit runaway processes and clean up login items.
Free to download. macOS 11 Big Sur or later. Apple Silicon and Intel supported.
