Clean
Reclaim disk space safely. Kleanse scans ten categories of caches, logs, and clutter and shows exactly what it found, grouped with sizes.
- Ten categories including app caches, developer tools, browser data, system caches, and temporary files
- Review every item; only what you approve is removed
- Removals go to the Trash by default, so you can restore them
- System-critical and personal paths are never offered
- Protect any path from future scans with one click
Apps
See every installed app with its version and size, and remove apps together with their leftovers.
- Full app inventory sorted by name or size, with search
- Batch uninstall with a leftover preview before anything moves
- Update checks from multiple sources
- Startup and login item management
- Running and protected apps are flagged
Optimize
One safe maintenance pass. Recommended tasks are pre-selected, risky steps stay off, and anything skipped explains why.
- Restart everyday services such as Dock and Notification Center
- Rebuild Quick Look caches and Launch Services
- Flush DNS and font caches, and free purgeable space
- Every task describes exactly what it does
Analyze
A clickable map of your disk plus a largest-files list, so you can find and clear what is really using space.
- Squarified treemap you can drill into
- Largest-files list with sizes and paths
- Reveal in Finder, copy a path, or move to Trash deliberately
- Scans any folder or volume
Status
Live vitals and a single health score, so you always know how your Mac is doing.
- CPU, memory, disk, network, GPU, thermal, and battery
- Sparklines for recent trends
- Top processes by CPU and memory
- Startup-disk and health warnings
Activity log
A local record of everything you have done, plus guidance when macOS needs permission.
- Every cleanup, uninstall, and maintenance action is logged
- Copy or export a report
- Full Disk Access guidance when a scan needs it
Menu bar
The same live data, one glance away, without opening a window.
- CPU, memory, network, disk, and battery with sparklines
- Top processes and top battery drain
