# PureMac
|
|
|
|
> PureMac is a free, open-source Mac cleaner and app uninstaller for macOS — a native CleanMyMac alternative that uninstalls apps with every leftover file, clears system junk and caches, and finds orphaned files left by deleted apps.

|
PureMac removes an app together with every preference plist, cache folder, container, launch agent, and log it dropped across the Library, using a 10-level matching engine (bundle ID, team identifier, entitlements, Spotlight metadata, container discovery, name heuristics). Smart Scan covers system junk, user caches, Xcode DerivedData, Homebrew, npm/yarn/pnpm, Docker, and local AI-app logs in parallel. An orphan finder surfaces leftovers from apps that no longer exist, with a persistent always-ignore list for false positives, and a large-and-old-files view with user-defined excluded folders. Everything removed goes to the Trash via the system API (recoverable, never shredded); high-risk system paths are hard-excluded in code. There is no telemetry, no analytics, and no network access. Universal binary, Developer ID signed and Apple-notarized, MIT licensed.
