A Mac cleaner that identifies what is safe to delete
Details
What is RefreshYourMac?
RefreshYourMac is a disk-cleanup app for macOS, built on one idea: show what is safe to delete, then let you decide.
It looks everywhere space builds up on your own Mac: caches, logs, Xcode DerivedData and simulator runtimes, package caches, the leftovers of AI coding tools, duplicates and unused apps. Everything it finds is rated Safe for auto removal, Review before deleting, Backup recommended or Protected. The rating decides what the buttons may do, so your own files cannot be swept up in a bulk clean, and nothing is deleted without asking.
Scheduled daily cleaning only ever takes Safe for auto removal categories: never your own files, never anything that needs your password, never the Trash. It works by touch on the new touchscreen MacBook Pro. It will not purge memory or scan for malware: it shows how much memory is genuinely spare, and reports XProtect's signature version and Gatekeeper's state. No account, no telemetry.
It is a notarised direct download, because almost everything it checks is out of reach of Apple's sandbox. A smaller, sandboxed edition, Refresh: Storage Cleaner, is on the Mac App Store.
Free to try: 3 free scans, and the download cleans the first 2 GB of Safe for auto removal items free, once per Mac. Then $24.99 once, or $14.99 a year. macOS 15 or later. Made in Ireland by Caddora.
