The Best Mac Cleaner & Optimizer App
All-in-one Mac cleaning software that helps you free up disk space, speed up your Mac, remove junk files, and keep your MacBook running like new.
Free up space on Mac — clean up storage in minutes
Is your Mac storage full? Over time your Mac accumulates system caches, log files, Xcode DerivedData, browser cache, app leftovers, and duplicate files that silently eat your disk space. Smart Cleaner is a powerful Mac cleaner app that scans your entire drive and safely removes junk files, temporary files, and system data that macOS won't clean up on its own. Most users free up 5–20 GB of disk space on their first scan. If your startup disk is almost full or you're wondering what is taking up space on your Mac — one scan gives you the answer.
Speed up your Mac — fix a slow Mac without reinstalling
Mac running slow? Cluttered caches, bloated browser data, and forgotten app leftovers drag down your MacBook's performance. Smart Cleaner works as a Mac optimizer that clears the junk weighing your system down, helping you speed up your Mac and make it faster. Unlike other Mac maintenance software that runs background processes, Smart Cleaner cleans on demand — no extra memory usage, no CPU drain. It's the simplest way to fix a slow Mac and boost macOS performance.
Privacy-first Mac cleaner — your data never leaves your device
Unlike other macOS cleaners and cleanup utilities, Smart Cleaner processes everything locally. No cloud uploads, no analytics on your files, no telemetry on what you delete. Your file system is scanned on-device and results stay on-device. Looking for a safe Mac cleaner you can trust? Smart Cleaner is a private, offline Mac cleaning app that never collects your data — a genuine CleanMyMac alternative with zero data collection.
One subscription — clean your Mac and iPhone
Smart Cleaner is a native Mac cleaner app for macOS (Monterey 12.0+) and a full-featured iPhone cleaner for iOS 16.0+. Purchase a premium subscription on either platform and it unlocks everywhere — Mac, iPhone, and web. Clean up Mac storage at your desk, then optimize your iPhone storage on the go. One Mac cleaning software subscription, both platforms, no lock-in.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Smart Cleaner — the best Mac cleaner and iPhone optimizer.
Is Smart Cleaner safe to use as a Mac cleaner?
Yes. Smart Cleaner is a safe Mac cleaner that only removes files which macOS regenerates automatically — system caches, log files, browser cache, and temporary files. Critical system files are flagged with caution labels and never selected by default. All deletions go to Trash first, so you can always recover files. It's the safest way to clean up your Mac without risking data loss.
How much disk space can Smart Cleaner free up on my Mac?
Most users free up between 5 GB and 20 GB on their first scan. The exact amount depends on how long since your last Mac cleanup, how many apps you use, and whether you have duplicate files or large videos eating storage. Developers with Xcode often reclaim 10 GB+ from DerivedData alone. If your Mac storage is full, Smart Cleaner can help you free up space fast.
Does this Mac cleaner work on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs?
Yes. Smart Cleaner is a universal Mac cleaner app that runs natively on both Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4) and Intel-based Macs. It supports macOS Monterey 12.0 and later, including macOS Sonoma and macOS Sequoia. Whether you have a MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iMac, or Mac Mini — Smart Cleaner works perfectly.
How do I clear browser cache on Mac?
Smart Cleaner's Browser Cleaner lets you clear cache, cookies, history, and session data from 12 browsers in one click: Safari, Google Chrome, Firefox, Brave, Arc, Opera, Vivaldi, Tor Browser, Microsoft Edge, LibreWolf, Chromium, and Opera GX. No need to open each browser individually — the fastest way to clear browser cache on Mac.
How does the duplicate file finder for Mac work?
Smart Cleaner's duplicate file finder uses a three-phase engine to find duplicate files on Mac. First, it groups files by size. Then it compares xxHash64 checksums of the first 4 KB. Finally, it runs a full-file xxHash64 hash to confirm byte-for-byte identity. This means zero false positives — only true duplicates are flagged. It also includes a duplicate photo finder that uses perceptual hashing to find visually identical photos.
Is there a free Mac cleaner version?
Yes. You can download Smart Cleaner as a free Mac cleaner and run scans to see exactly what's taking up space on your Mac or iPhone. The free version shows you how much junk, cache, and duplicate files are wasting your storage. Premium unlocks unlimited cleaning, the full duplicate file finder, Mac app uninstaller, and all advanced cleanup tools.
Does Smart Cleaner collect my data like other Mac cleaners?
No. Smart Cleaner is a privacy-first Mac cleaner. All file scanning and Mac cleanup happens locally on your device. No file data, scan results, or personal information is ever uploaded to our servers or any third party. Unlike some popular Mac cleaning software, we have zero analytics on your files — your Mac maintenance stays completely private.
Can I use one subscription to clean both Mac and iPhone?
Yes. A single Smart Cleaner Premium subscription works as both a Mac cleaner and iPhone cleaner. Buy on the web, Mac App Store, or iPhone App Store — your premium access syncs automatically to all your devices. One Mac cleaning app subscription covers macOS and iOS.
What is taking up space on my Mac? How does Space Lens help?
Space Lens is a disk space analyzer built into Smart Cleaner. It creates an interactive directory tree map of your entire Mac drive, letting you drill down folder by folder to see exactly what is taking up space on your Mac. Think of it as a smarter version of the macOS storage view — perfect for finding large files, forgotten downloads, and hidden folders eating your disk space.
How do I completely uninstall apps on Mac?
When you drag an app to Trash on macOS, it leaves behind preference files, caches, support files, and launch agents scattered across your Library folder. Smart Cleaner's Mac app uninstaller finds and removes all these leftover artifacts, giving you a truly complete app removal. It's the best way to uninstall apps on Mac completely and reclaim wasted disk space from app leftovers.
