Been using this for a few years and it works really well. Gets rid of files other cleaner miss. I’ve never had it cause me problems by deleting too many files. Does exactly what I want it to do each time. Now even has a dark mode, which is very well executed.Robert

Frequently asked questions

Beyond cleaning, how does this tool help manage my apps?

App Cleaner & Uninstaller acts as a complete management dashboard for your software. While cleaning is the core function, it also serves as a powerful suite that allows you to:

  • Update apps and skip manual checks on developer websites and the App Store.
  • Audit app permissions to protect your privacy. See exactly which apps have access to your camera, microphone, and location.
  • Optimize Mac performance by managing startup programs, launch agents, and browser extensions.
  • Verify app security by checking their Apple Notarization status.

Is uninstalling an app the same as trashing an app?

Dragging an icon to the Trash only removes the application binary (the .app file). It leaves behind numerous files, including hundreds of megabytes of caches, logs, preference files, and hidden support folders, scattered across your Library.

App Cleaner & Uninstaller performs a thorough scan to locate every associated file, ensuring that when you delete an app, it is completely removed, freeing up significant disk space and keeping your macOS file system lean.

How do I find “Leftovers” from apps I deleted a long time ago?

App Cleaner & Uninstaller scans your system for Remaining files – the leftovers left behind by previous, incomplete uninstalls. Simply open the app, navigate to the Remaining Files section, and you will likely find a list of support files belonging to apps you haven’t used in years.

What should I do with apps that are not verified by Apple?

An “Not verified by Apple” label means the app hasn’t been officially scanned by Apple’s automated security service. This doesn’t necessarily mean the app is malicious – it could be a legacy tool or an app from a niche developer. 

We recommend that you use App Cleaner & Uninstaller to audit these apps. If you recognize and trust the developer, you can keep them. However, if you find an unnotarized app you don’t remember installing, we suggest uninstalling it to reduce your security risk.

How do I manage apps that launch on startup?

Use theStartup Programs tab to see all login items and launch agents. Disabling even a few unnecessary background processes can significantly improve your Mac’s speed.
