<h2>Reclaim your Mac — without the subscription</h2>
|
|
<p>Apple solders down 256 GB drives and charges a fortune for the next tier, so every gigabyte you already paid for matters. Most Mac cleaners answer that with subscriptions, telemetry, and dramatized "47 GB of junk detected!" badges. PureMac is the opposite: a free, open-source, native macOS app that removes apps cleanly, clears genuine junk, and tells you the truth about what it can and can't free.</p>

<h2>Features</h2>
|
|
<div class="grid">
|
|
<div class="feat"><h3>App uninstaller</h3><p>Drag an app and PureMac finds every preference, cache, container, launch agent, and log it left behind — then trashes all of it at once.</p></div>
|
|
<div class="feat"><h3>Orphan finder</h3><p>Surfaces files left over by apps you deleted long ago, with an always-ignore list for the false positives you want to keep.</p></div>
|
|
<div class="feat"><h3>Smart Scan</h3><p>System junk, user caches, Xcode DerivedData, Homebrew, npm/yarn/pnpm, Docker, and AI-app logs — scanned in parallel.</p></div>
|
|
<div class="feat"><h3>Large & old files</h3><p>Find the multi-gigabyte files aging in Downloads, Documents, and Desktop — with folders you can exclude from the scan.</p></div>
|
|
<div class="feat"><h3>Trash, never <code>rm</code></h3><p>Everything goes to the Trash via the system API. Wrong call? Drag it back. Nothing is shredded.</p></div>
|
|
<div class="feat"><h3>Private by default</h3><p>No telemetry, no analytics, no accounts, no network calls. The app doesn't know you exist.</p></div>

<h2>Our promise</h2>
|
|
<div class="promise">
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><b>Trash, never <code>rm</code>.</b> Everything removed goes to the Trash. If it was wrong, drag it back.</li>
|
|
<li><b>No telemetry, ever.</b> No analytics, no crash reporting, no network calls to us.</li>
|
|
<li><b>No fake urgency.</b> No dramatized "junk detected!" badges or red alarm counters — neutral facts, your decision.</li>
|
|
<li><b>No overpromising.</b> We don't claim to "reclaim purgeable space," "boost RAM," or "speed up your Mac" — things no app can reliably do.</li>
|
|
<li><b>You review before anything is removed.</b> Every item shows its real path, and high-risk system paths are hard-excluded in code.</li>
|
|
<li><b>Auditable.</b> It's MIT. Read the exact code that decides what gets removed, fork it, ship your own.</li>
