Your disk stays yours
FreeMyMac scans locally, shows every path before cleanup, and moves files to Trash first. No uploaded file lists, no cloud scoring, no guesswork.
macos disk cleaner / local-only / developer clutter
Free your Mac.
Keep the receipts.
FreeMyMac finds build caches, simulator leftovers, node_modules, old installers, and the junk folders that quietly turn fast machines into full ones. Review every byte, then clean with confidence.

the base deal
A disk cleaner that behaves like a tool.
The theme is quiet because the job is serious: show the filesystem clearly, avoid fake urgency, and let you reclaim space without wondering what just happened.
Built for developer clutter
Find DerivedData, node_modules, Rust targets, simulator data, package caches, Docker leftovers, and the folders that quietly eat whole drives.
Review before reclaiming
Risk labels, exact sizes, file-level views, and storage maps make it obvious what is safe to remove and what needs a second look.
$20 once
No subscription and no cleanup quota. Buy once, unlock cleaning, and keep using the app with six months of updates included.
inspect before deleting
No mystery "clean" button.
You can drill into categories, inspect the files behind a total, and decide what is actually worth reclaiming.
privacy is the feature
Your file list never leaves the Mac.
The app scans known safe locations, stores state locally, and keeps cloud services out of the cleanup decision. The website sells a license; the app does the work on your machine.

Questions, answered.
Is my data safe?
Yes. FreeMyMac uses an allowlist approach and never deletes without confirmation. System files, keychains, SSH keys, Mail, Messages, and other sensitive locations are protected.
What happens after six months?
The app keeps working. The included update window ends after six months, and you can buy another license later if you want newer builds.
Does it work on Apple Silicon?
Yes. FreeMyMac is built as a universal macOS app for Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.
What macOS versions are supported?
FreeMyMac supports macOS 13 Ventura and later.
