Audience
macOS users seeking tools for Mac cleanup, application removal, storage analysis, routine maintenance, and system monitoring.
About Nivo
Nivo is a native macOS utility for people who want to review and manage storage, applications, routine maintenance, and system activity from one desktop app. Its Clean tool scans caches, temporary files, logs, and other removable data, then displays items for review before cleanup. Uninstall identifies related support files and settings when removing applications. Optimize runs maintenance tasks such as rebuilding indexes and flushing DNS, while Analyze presents disk usage in a navigable treemap. Status shows CPU, memory, GPU, storage, network, battery, thermal information, and running processes. A built-in diagnostic report helps users inspect permissions and common system issues. The app runs on macOS 14 or later on Apple silicon and Intel Macs. File scans run locally, and the app sends no analytics or telemetry. Nivo also offers a separate open-source command-line companion that shares the cleaning engine.

MOLE
MOLE is a native macOS utility for reviewing and cleaning user application cache folders on Apple Silicon Macs running macOS 14 or later. It scans caches locally and presents folder sizes and paths so users can compare entries, search the list, and reveal locations in Finder before choosing what to clean. Scanning is available without activation; moving selected folders to the Trash requires a paid license and an online license check. Cleanup requires user selection and confirmation, and MOLE does not empty the Trash, so moved files continue to use storage until the user empties it. A personal license costs $15 once for up to two active Macs and covers the purchased version. MOLE does not provide whole-disk analysis, duplicate-file finding, or app uninstallation. Scanned cache size is an estimate, not a guarantee of recoverable space.

clat.ai
Clat.ai is a macOS utility for cleaning application caches, uninstalling apps, inspecting disk usage, and monitoring system activity. Its cache-cleaning feature targets caches by app while retaining sign-ins, and its uninstaller removes app-related leftover files. A whole-disk treemap helps users examine how storage is distributed across the drive. A menu-bar dashboard provides at-a-glance readings for CPU, memory, disk input/output, network, battery, temperature, and fans. The utility is intended for Mac users who want to handle routine cleanup, app removal, storage review, and system checks from one desktop app.

RefreshYourMac
RefreshYourMac is a macOS disk-cleanup app for people who want to understand what is using storage before removing files. It scans local storage and reports the size and source of items such as application and browser caches, logs, large and duplicate files, unused apps, Xcode build data, simulator files, package-manager caches and data left by AI coding tools. Each category is classified as Safe to Remove, Review, Move to Backup or Protected, and the app requires approval before cleaning; scheduled cleaning is limited to selected Safe to Remove categories. A menu-bar view reports available disk space, while additional tools show CPU and memory use and provide maintenance tasks and app uninstallation. Scanning is free; cleaning requires a paid licence. The app runs on macOS 15 or later and is available as a direct download, with a separate sandboxed edition in the Mac App Store.

Broomkit
Broomkit is a native macOS disk cleaner and app uninstaller built for transparency and safety. It scans the home folder across 16 categories — app caches, package caches, dependency folders, simulators, logs, duplicates, and more — showing every file with its full path before removal.
The free version includes a full disk scan, interactive Disk Map visualisation, large and old file finder, and path browsing — no account required. A one-time licence unlocks Reclaim and the App Uninstaller with residue cleanup.
Safety is central: all removals go to Trash, inferred items start unchecked, and no admin password is requested. Leftovers are matched by exact bundle identifier to prevent accidental deletion.
Developer machines are a focus, covering npm, pnpm, pip caches, Xcode DerivedData, simulators, and Docker data. Broomkit runs natively on macOS 14+ on Apple Silicon and Intel, is notarized by Apple, and requires no subscription.
