Scanning is always free

Your Mac collects junk.
Sweep gives the space back.

The first Mac cleaner that understands the AI-coding era — Claude Code sessions, Cursor caches, Ollama models, node_modules graveyards — and explains every byte before it touches anything.

Built for how Macs get dirty in 2026

Generic cleaners were built for iPhoto libraries. Your junk is different: model weights, agent transcripts, build caches, and a node_modules folder for every side project you abandoned.

AI agents

The junk your AI tools leave behind

Claude Code caches and month-old transcripts, Cursor and Windsurf editor caches, Copilot logs, MCP server logs, Ollama models you haven't run in 60 days, the Hugging Face hub. Sweep knows what's regenerable, what's expensive to re-pull — and never touches settings or API keys.

Claude Code caches & logssafe2.1 GB
Cursor editor cachessafe1.4 GB
Ollama models, unused 60+ daysreview26.4 GB
Hugging Face hubreview9.1 GB

Sessions, API keys and custom instructions are never touched.

The safety vault

Delete nothing. Move everything.

Sweep never unlinks your files. Cleaning moves items into a local vault where they sit — restorable to the exact same bytes, permissions and timestamps — for 7 days. A manifest is written before every move, so even a crash mid-clean is recoverable. Uninstalled an app by mistake? Undo brings it back, leftovers and all.

clean → restore ≡ identity

Property-tested across thousands of randomized file trees: names, permissions, extended attributes and content hashes all verified equal.

A 100% restore rate is a release gate
Regrowth forecasting

How much of it actually stays gone

Every cleaner tells you what you can free today. Sweep is the only one that has watched the same folders across every scan since you installed it, so it can tell you which gigabytes come straight back. A Chrome cache that refills in a week is worth knowing about before you celebrate. The forecast says nothing when the evidence is thin — no claim is a valid answer about your disk.

Reclaimed 38.6 GB
31.2 GBstays gone

The other 7.4 GB is measured to refill within a month — browser caches and an Ollama model you use weekly. Sweep says so up front instead of quietly re-finding it next time.

Fitted from your own scan history, on your Mac. No model to download, no data leaves.

Explained, not mysterious

Every item says why it's safe

No mystery checkboxes. Every finding is classified Safe (regenerated automatically, never your own files) or Review first (could affect something you still use) with a plain-English reason. Risky items are never pre-selected — that 26 GB of model weights is your call, and Sweep tells you what re-pulling costs.

More than a cleaner — a Mac tune-up

Reclaimed space is only half of it. The same free scan surfaces the system side of a healthy Mac — and a few things you'd otherwise reach for a second app to do.

Memory & CPU

Live memory pressure and per-process usage, with one-click quit for whatever's hogging your RAM.

Battery health

Cycle count, real capacity and temperature — the system half of a healthy Mac, not just its disk.

Full uninstaller

Remove an app and everything it left behind — caches, preferences, support files — undoable for 7 days.

Duplicates & photos

Exact copies by content hash, plus near-duplicate photos found on-device with Apple's Vision framework.

Menu-bar widget

Reclaimable space at a glance and a quick scan without opening the full app.

Spotlight & Shortcuts

Start a scan from Spotlight or an Automation — Sweep ships native App Intents.

Space Lens

A live map of where the space actually went, biggest first — drill into any folder without leaving for Finder.

Malware & login items

Known adware and browser hijackers, plus everything that starts itself when you do — on-device, no threat-feed subscription.

Safety vault & history

Every clean Sweep ever ran, what it freed, and a restore button beside each one for seven days.

How it works

From download to reclaimed gigabytes in three steps.

1
Scan — free, forever

One pass over caches, developer junk, AI agents, browsers, apps and large files. Under a minute on most Macs, and no account needed.

2
Review with explanations

See exactly what was found and why it's safe. Tick or untick anything. The clean button always states the quantity: “Clean 38.6 GB”.

3
Clean — with a 7-day undo

Files move to the vault, not the void. Changed your mind on Thursday? One click restores everything exactly as it was.

Trust isn't a feature. It's the product.

Mac cleaners have a reputation problem. Sweep is designed so you never have to take our word for anything.

A hard never-touch list

Keychains, credentials, .env files, browser passwords and bookmarks, App Store receipts and Time Machine snapshots are compiled into the app. Cleanup rules can extend the protections — never weaken them.

Signed cleanup rules

What Sweep may touch is defined by cryptographically signed rulepacks. New AI tools get support through a signed rule update you can verify, not a silent binary change.

On-device, always

Analysis runs on your Mac. Sweep reads sizes, dates and names — never file contents. No file listings ever leave your machine.

Native, not a wrapper

100% Swift and SwiftUI — no Electron, no kernel extensions, no surprise background daemons.

What a scan actually finds

One real developer Mac, one full scan — 4.84 GB across 41 findings in 12.8 seconds. Your numbers will be different; the point is that every line is explained before anything moves.

2.52 GB
Language toolchains nobody asked for

A nightly Rust toolchain at 1.18 GB, five Gradle distributions at 0.81 GB, three old Node versions. The ones your projects actually pin are left alone.

1.9 GB
Game engine shader caches

Unity and Unreal rebuild these on next launch. Steam workshop leftovers for games uninstalled months ago.

12.8 s
To walk the whole Mac

Warm rescans are faster. Scanning is free forever and never needs an account.

Why Sweep, not another cleaner

Most Mac cleaners date from the iPhoto era and ask you to trust a mystery “Smart Clean” button. Sweep is built for how a modern, often AI-assisted Mac actually fills up — and shows its work.
