Cleaner Uninstalls

Cleaner than dragging apps to Trash.

Scrub groups related files so cleanup stays fast, visible, and reversible.

App + leftovers

Find the bundle, support data, caches, preferences, containers, agents, and helpers together.

Deleted-app scan

Surface orphaned files from apps you already removed, while skipping Apple system paths.

True footprint

See the real size of an app with its related data, not only the .app bundle.

Trash first

Move selected files to Trash first and keep protected macOS paths out of the cleanup.

Private By Design

Local cleanup. Direct download.

Local cleanup

Scrub scans and removes files on-device. The files you choose to delete are not uploaded.

Why direct download

Scrub needs disk access the Mac App Store sandbox does not allow. It ships signed and Apple-notarized.

Questions

Clear answers.

Does Scrub delete files immediately?

No. Selected items move to Trash first, so you can restore them until you empty it.

What does Scrub look for?

Does Scrub upload cleanup data?

No. Cleanup happens locally on your Mac; deletion details are not uploaded.

Why direct download?

Scrub needs disk access the Mac App Store sandbox does not allow. The app is Developer ID signed and Apple-notarized.

Uninstall apps the clean way.
