Everything reclaimable Clearly explained

Replace guesswork and risky one-click cleaners with a calm, transparent workflow that shows exactly what it found, why it is safe to remove, and how to get it back.

Your everyday cleanup

Safety that stays out of your way

Mac Cleaner Guard scans first and never selects anything blindly. Each item carries a risk level — Safe, Confirm, or Protected — so you always know what a removal means before you approve it.

Local-first by design

Nothing is deleted
Until you say so

Scanning is read-only. When you clean, items move to a Managed Trash you control, not to oblivion. Freeing the space for good is a separate, explicit step — so a wrong click is never permanent.

More than a cache cleaner

The tools that keep a busy Mac tidy — duplicates, secrets, memory, and developer leftovers — in one place, each with the same safety-first rules.

Exact duplicates

Find true copies with full SHA-256, not just matching names

Files are compared by content and re-hashed fresh right before any action. You choose the primary file to keep; nothing is removed until you confirm.

Security scan

Spot unprotected passwords, tokens, and keys before they leak

Results are redacted, never uploaded, and never auto-deleted.

Memory insight

Read real memory pressure instead of “freeing” RAM

Clear diagnostics, with no risky purges of swap or processes.

Developer space

Reclaim Homebrew, Docker, and Xcode leftovers the safe way

Cleanup uses each tool's own official commands where possible, groups reproducible artifacts, and keeps active toolchains protected — so nothing you still depend on disappears.

Questions, answered

Cleanup without surprises

Does Mac Cleaner Guard delete files automatically?

No. Scanning is read-only and nothing is selected on your behalf for protected or risky items. When you clean, items move to a Managed Trash first. Freeing the space permanently is a separate, explicit action you take yourself.

Does it send my files or data anywhere?

No. All analysis — cleanup, duplicates, offload, and the security scan — runs locally on your Mac. There is no cloud analysis and no telemetry of your file contents.

Can I undo a cleanup?

Yes. Cleaned and offloaded items go to a Managed Trash, and the History screen lets you undo and restore them until you choose to purge. Purging is the only step that frees space for good.

What about System Data and iCloud files?

macOS system data is never mass-deleted. Sensitive areas such as iCloud Drive, Mail, Messages, and backups are report-only, and iCloud placeholders are never downloaded just to scan them.

How does it find duplicates?

Candidates are narrowed by size and a quick fingerprint, then confirmed with a full SHA-256 hash. Both the file you keep and the copy are re-hashed fresh immediately before any action.

What does the Security tab do?

It runs a local scan for unprotected passwords, tokens, and private keys, and reports findings with the secret redacted. It never uploads content and never deletes a file automatically.
