A Mac disk cleaner without the subscription.
About Free my Mac
Free my Mac is an open-source disk cleaning utility designed specifically for macOS users seeking a clutter-free and optimized system without the hassle of subscriptions or intrusive telemetry. It quickly scans your entire Mac to identify unnecessary files such as caches, logs, duplicates, and developer junk like Xcode DerivedData, iOS Simulators, npm, cocoapods, and gradle. One of its standout features is its ability to detect APFS clones and Time Machine snapshots, providing users with an accurate view of reclaimable space. Its root-owned system files are managed with a single admin prompt, simplifying the cleaning process. Built with a keyboard-first, inter-typed interface, it emphasizes efficiency and ease of use for power users and developers alike. As open-source software licensed under MIT, it appeals to those who value transparency, privacy, and a no-cost solution for maintaining disk health.
