Everything Sweep cleans.
And how carefully it does it.
20 collectors, 342 signed rules, one promise: you'll always know what's being removed, and you can always take it back.
Claude Code caches, logs and 30-day-old transcripts. Cursor, Windsurf and Copilot caches. MCP server logs. Settings and API keys are never touched.
Ollama models unused for 60+ days and the Hugging Face hub — flagged for review, never auto-selected, because re-pulling costs time and bandwidth.
npm, pnpm, Yarn, pip, CocoaPods, Homebrew, Maven, Gradle, Cargo, Go modules, RubyGems and Composer — all re-fetched on demand.
DerivedData, SwiftPM `.build` folders and module caches, plus old archives, stale device-support symbols and unavailable simulators — cleaned with Apple's own simctl so Xcode stays consistent.
Dangling images, build cache and unused volumes, measured by Docker's own accounting and removed with Docker's own prune commands.
Dependency folders, Python venvs and rebuildable output — `target/`, `.next`, `__pycache__` and friends — in projects untouched for 60+ days, across 14 common project locations. Monorepos included.
Old Rust toolchains, Node versions and Gradle distributions you no longer build with. Sweep reads each manager's own state — including nvm alias chains and the Gradle version every project pins — so the toolchain you actually use is never a candidate.
A live inventory across Homebrew, npm, pnpm, Cargo, RubyGems and pipx: what's installed, what's outdated, what it costs you in disk. Update from inside Sweep.
Coding agents leave git worktrees behind by the dozen. Sweep finds the ones nothing has touched in two weeks, reads each one's real last-commit date, and never offers the worktree you are working in.
Service-worker caches from Slack, Discord, Notion, Figma, Obsidian, Spotify, Linear and friends — the folders that quietly reach gigabytes because nothing ever clears them.
Per-app caches and diagnostic logs that rebuild automatically. Apple's own system caches are excluded — macOS manages those itself.
The Trash you never empty, month-old DMG installers, and stale iPhone backups — marked irreplaceable and reviewed, never auto-cleaned.
Safari, Chrome, Arc, Firefox, Edge, Brave, Vivaldi, Opera and Chromium caches; history and cookies only if you tick them. Passwords and bookmarks are structurally off-limits.
See everything an app leaves behind — support files, caches, preferences — and remove it all. Undoable for 7 days like everything else.
Exact copies by content hash, plus near-duplicate photos and bursts found on-device with Apple's Vision framework. Sweep keeps the sharpest, best-exposed copy — measured, not the newest by date — and never enters your Photos library.
Sweep fits how fast each folder refills from your own scan history, so it can tell you how much of a clean actually stays gone. Nothing is claimed when the evidence is thin.
Live pressure and per-process usage, safe process quitting, and battery health with cycles and temperature — the system half of a healthy Mac.
Unity, Unreal and Steam shader caches, engine build output and workshop leftovers; render caches and derived media from Premiere, After Effects, DaVinci and Ableton. Project files are never candidates — only what the app rebuilds.
A live map of where the space actually went, biggest first, drilling into any folder. It answers “why is my disk full” in the app instead of handing you off to Finder.
Checks for known adware and browser hijackers in the places they actually install — launch agents, profiles, browser extensions. On-device, with no subscription to a threat feed.
Everything that starts itself when you do, with what it belongs to and how to turn it off. Disabling flips the same switch System Settings does — nothing is deleted.
The upkeep tasks macOS runs on its own schedule and sometimes never gets to — rebuilding caches, flushing stale state — run on demand and explained before they run.
Flush the DNS cache and clear the network caches that survive a reboot. Credentials, known hosts and Wi-Fi profiles are structurally out of reach.
For the files you want gone rather than recoverable. The one place in Sweep with no undo — which is exactly why it is a separate, deliberate screen.
Everything Sweep ever moved, what it freed, and a restore button beside each one for seven days. The receipts, not a claim about them.
How cleaning works
From download to reclaimed gigabytes in three steps — all reversible.
One pass over caches, developer junk, AI agents, browsers, apps and large files. Under a minute on most Macs, and no account needed.
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”.
Files move to the vault, not the void. Changed your mind on Thursday? One click restores everything exactly as it was.
Safety 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.
Keychains, credentials, .env files, browser passwords and bookmarks, receipts and Time Machine snapshots are compiled into the app.
What Sweep may touch is defined by cryptographically signed rulepacks you can verify — not silent binary changes.
A manifest is written before every move, so even a crash mid-clean is recoverable and restore is bit-for-bit identity.
See what your Mac is hoarding.
The scan is free and takes about a minute. You'll know exactly what you're looking at — before anything moves.
