Open-source alternatives to AppCleaner
An uninstaller that finds the preferences, caches and support files an app leaves behind and removes them with the app.
AppCleaner removes an app together with the files it has spread across the system, such as preferences, caches and support folders. You drop an app onto its window, check the list of related files and delete them in one step.
The apps below do the same job: they look for an app's associated files across the Library folders and list them before anything is removed. Pearcleaner and Peel are dedicated uninstallers that can also find remnants of apps you already deleted, with Peel explaining why each file matched, while PureMac, Mac Sai and MangoDisk include a comparable uninstaller inside a broader cleanup app. All of them publish their source code.
