Questions, answered
Is scanning really free, forever?
Yes. Seeing what's on your Mac should never cost anything. The free plan also cleans up to 2 GB every month — enough to feel the product before you pay.
What happens to files I clean?
They move to a local safety vault on your Mac, not the void. For 7 days you can restore any clean bit-for-bit — same bytes, permissions and timestamps. After that the vault empties itself.
Does Sweep read my files?
No. Sweep reads sizes, dates and names — never file contents. All analysis is on-device and no file listings ever leave your machine.
How is Sweep different from other Mac cleaners?
Sweep is built for how modern Macs fill up: it recognizes AI-tool junk (Claude Code, Cursor, Ollama) and developer caches most cleaners ignore, moves files into a 7-day undo vault instead of deleting them, forecasts how much space actually stays gone, and never reads your file contents. It is native Swift, not an Electron wrapper, and scanning is always free.
Should I pick monthly or yearly?
Yearly is 50% off monthly for the same features. If you're not sure, start monthly — you can switch anytime.
Mac App Store, Homebrew or direct download?
Direct download today — a build for Apple silicon and Intel; pick your Mac's architecture on the download page. Homebrew works too: `brew install --cask sweep` installs the app and the sweep command-line tool together, on the same version. A Mac App Store edition is planned for public launch and will bill through your Apple ID. Store rules require sandboxing, so that edition will reach fewer places on disk than the direct build; the download page will say exactly which. Pro covers one Mac either way.
How do updates work?
Sweep checks once a day, downloads in the background and swaps the new version in when you quit, so you are never interrupted mid-scan. Every update is verified against Sweep's own signing key before it is installed — a tampered download is refused rather than run. Both the daily check and the background install are switches in Settings, and Homebrew installs update in place the same way.
Is there a command-line version?
Yes. `sweep` runs the same engine headlessly — scan, clean with a dry-run, and manage the vault from a script or CI. It ships with the Homebrew cask, or on its own with `brew install sweep`. Cleaning through the CLI uses the same 7-day vault, so it is just as reversible.
Can I use one license on multiple Macs?
A license activates one Mac at a time. Moving it is instant and unlimited: deactivate the old Mac from your web console and activate the new one. Buying a second Mac a licence of its own is only necessary if you want both cleaning at once.
What if I don't like it?
Direct purchases carry a 14-day, no-questions refund. App Store purchases follow Apple's refund process. Every clean is also undoable for 7 days — so even a mistake is never permanent.
