Overview
What the macleanup desktop app adds to the command line — the same script underneath, a disk gauge, a dry-run ledger with keep, archive or delete, run receipts, apps and leftovers, and both launchd domains.
Install and first launch
Install the macleanup desktop app on macOS 11 or later — one disk image for Apple silicon and Intel, the one-time Gatekeeper Open Anyway step, optional Full Disk Access, and in-app updates.
Plans and allowance
What the macleanup desktop app's Free, Pro and Team plans include — unlimited previews on every plan, 15 real runs a month per Mac plus 15 signed in, and Pro and Team prices as of 2026-10-30.
Privacy in the app
What the macleanup desktop app keeps on your Mac and what it syncs — no telemetry, file paths never leave the Mac, and a signed-in sync of section ids, byte counts, statuses and the macOS version only.
Keyboard shortcuts
The macleanup desktop app's default keyboard shortcuts — ⌘K command palette, ⌘N new preview, ⌘Y history, ⌘, settings — and the rule that every shortcut is rebindable.
