Keep your perspective

Have you ever unsuccessfully tried to get rid of a program and all the files that came with it? Are logfiles, plists and caches cluttering folders and volumes on your Mac? Don't you ask yourself from time to time where the multiple gigabytes of hard disk space continuously vanish to? — Uninstall, archive, backup and analysis… CleanApp analyzes, archives and removes applications and on your Mac, complete with all relevant files.

United and strong

The brand new "CleanCommunity" feature makes CleanApp even more powerful. Benefit from experienced users and have CleanApp automatically gather information from the online database. CleanApp 3.2 details which files other users deleted along with de-installing an application, making your decision so much easier which files to keep and which to erase.

CleanApp 3: Start Screen

Compatible to Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard

CleanApp 3 has been tested successfully with Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard"

Why does Mac OS X need an Uninstaller?

Already on installation, and even more so during normal use, application programs and utilities under Mac OS X tend to create a multitude of files and folders all over the system: user settings, temporary and log files, …. Unfortunately, even removing software from the "Applications" folder won't eliminate those obsolete files, and they continue to waste precious space on your storage media.

Enter CleanApp and its »Logging Service«: without slowing down any of the installations it records, CleanApp creates a database, analyzing applications and their behaviour right from the start. At any given moment, you will be able to see whatever files a program uses.

CleanApp also keeps an eye on deletion processes. So, whenever you move an application to the Trash manually, you'll be greeted with an interactive dialogue to invoke a comprehensive list of all related files you might want to get rid of too.

Complete Uninstallation thanks to CleanApp's logging tool

Our unique Logging Service invariably monitors all data being created. This component debuted in CleanApp 2 and has been completely rewritten for this third release. Track down all changes programs caused on your system. This mechanism allows you to virtually "undo" also very complex installations at any given moment.

CleanApp 3 builds on »launchd«, Apple's recommended programming architecture for background processes, and allowed us to add another important improvement: you may shut down and even restart Logging at any moment during runtime, without the need to reboot your Mac. Along the way we dramatically improved CleanApp's efficiency. CleanApp 3 uses less memory and cpu cylces than its already hugely popular predecessor.

CleanApp 3: Logging Service

United and strong

You have to start somewhere. Completely removing applications requires experience just like anything else. With no point of reference, deciding which files to keep and which to delete seems like an impossible task. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a more experienced user within reach you could ask?

Join the CleanCommunity

Enter the brand new "CleanCommunity" feature in CleanApp 3.2. By means of the CleanCommunity, CleanApp is updated regularly with the latest information on which files are associated with an application and can therefore be deleted along with it. How does it work? This is where the community idea comes into play. If you allow it to, CleanApp transmits anonymized information about your deletions to the central database - stating which application was deleted and which files were removed in the process. All users will be able to profit from this knowledge afterwards and do their part with their own de-installations. Without extra effort, without any risk.

Can Hard Drives be colorful?

CleanApp 3.1 comes with a brand new graphical view displaying disk usage for folders or the whole hard drive. Keep track on how free disk space decreases and why your hard drive gets filled up day by day. No need to comb through each folder manually, let CleanApp deliver the results on a silver salver. It has never been easier knowing whats going on on one's hard drive. Speed up your system by erasing unnecessary files!

Never seen your hard drive that way?

Don't take any risk

Another very handy safety feature is CleanApp's ability to exclude specific files and entire folders from all deletion processes. A flexible selection also allows you to predefine language packages to be either deleted or kept for applications on your system.

To delete … or rather – not?!

You certainly don't want to delete software by mistake which may have laborously been installed and maintained over a long time. Such installations are probably the foundation of your business, or they simply contain a priceless wealth of personal data. Before completely removing such installations from your system, CleanApp can save everything in a well maintained order to a compact and portable archive. If you later change your mind…, or simply decide to reinstall, CleanApp does exactly that and restores the everything meticulously to its previous state.

CleanApp 3: Archive List

High-Res search on the Fast Lane

CleanApp performs a direct Spotlight-enabled search for all programs installed on your hard drive and displays them in a complete list, sorted by the moment they were used for the last time. With a single click, this powerful search algorithm enables you to find applications and tools you may only have used once and which now occupy valuable hard disk space.

Clean-up, but don't get dusted!

While inspecting your system and removing unwanted programs and their files, CleanApp also thoroughly monitors places often neglected: System Preferences, Widgets, Screen Savers, … CleanApp locates language packages and extensions of various applications, the so called "Plug-ins", too. All search results are displayed in a verbose and easily understandable list from which you may directly delete them, one-by-one or globally.
