Smart Care

Smart Care is the central starting point for maintaining your Mac. It combines several CleanMyMac modules into a single scan designed to identify unnecessary files, potential threats and optimization opportunities.

Smart Care can analyze system junk, mail attachments and trash, check for malware, recommend maintenance tasks, suggest application updates and identify duplicate files in your Downloads folder.

Free Up Valuable Storage

Over time, your Mac can accumulate caches, logs, temporary files, unused language files, old installation leftovers and other unnecessary data. CleanMyMac helps identify this clutter so you can safely review and remove items you no longer need.

It can also help locate large and old files, giving you a clearer view of what's consuming valuable disk space.

Complete Application Uninstall

Uninstall applications more thoroughly by removing the application and associated files that may otherwise remain behind.

CleanMyMac can also help identify applications that need updating, making it easier to keep your installed software current.

Malware Protection

CleanMyMac includes malware detection and removal powered by the Moonlock Engine. Protection tools can scan your Mac for potentially harmful software and remove detected threats.

Choose between Quick, Balanced and Deep scanning modes depending on how much coverage and scanning depth you need.

Privacy Protection

CleanMyMac helps remove traces of your activity that can accumulate while browsing and using applications.
