Description
macOS doesn’t really delete apps. It removes the app bundle, sure, but everything else stays behind. Preferences, caches, random support files buried in Library folders.
PureMac goes after that leftover mess. Pick an app and it pulls up everything linked to it. It digs through metadata, bundle IDs, and other hints to figure out what belongs where. You get a list, you decide what goes.
It also checks for leftovers from apps you already removed. That one surprised me a bit. Old files from things I don’t even remember installing. There’s a cleaning section too. Caches, logs, Xcode data, Homebrew downloads, large files sitting around doing nothing. It’s all there, grouped in a way that doesn’t feel random.
Use Cases
- Remove apps completely without leaving behind hidden files
- Find and delete leftover files from previously uninstalled apps
- Clear system junk like caches, logs, and temporary files
- Free up space by removing large or old files
- Clean Xcode data like DerivedData and simulator caches

A Cleaner macOS Without the Guesswork
PureMac feels like something macOS should already have. The uninstaller is the main reason to use it. Being able to see everything tied to an app before removing it just saves time. The orphan file scan is a close second, especially if your system has been around for a while.
The cleaning tools are very useful, Overall its an open source app that helps you clean your system properly.
