Free, open-source alternatives to CCleaner for Mac

A Mac cleaner that removes caches and junk files, clears browser data, finds duplicates, uninstalls apps and manages startup items.

CCleaner for Mac is the Mac edition of the CCleaner maintenance tool. It scans for caches, temporary files and other junk, clears browsing history and cookies, finds duplicate files and photos, uninstalls apps and lets you turn off startup items.

The open-source apps below share the central task of finding caches and leftover files and letting you review them before anything is removed. Mac Sai, MangoDisk and PureMac take the all-in-one approach with uninstallers and storage tools, while Purge, MacSift and Dusty focus on cleanup alone and move files to the Trash instead of deleting them outright. They differ in how much they scan beyond caches, so check what each one covers before relying on it for browser history or duplicates.
