Went from 50 GB free to 200 GB free on a 499 GB Mac. One scan, 150 GB reclaimed — mostly browser caches and leftovers from apps we'd already uninstalled.
Focused tools that handle the biggest sources of wasted storage and the files that are hardest to locate manually.
Unclutter scans your entire startup disk for the file types macOS treats as removable — old logs in /private/var/log, .DS_Store litter, leftover Xcode derived data, Homebrew caches, and unused language files — and shows you exactly what it found before anything is deleted.
Browser caches (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Arc, Brave), system caches in ~/Library/Caches, app caches, font caches, and DNS caches are cleared in one click. No more 40 GB of forgotten Safari data eating your SSD.
When you delete an app by dragging it to the Trash, macOS leaves behind support files, preferences, saved states, and launch agents scattered across ~/Library. Unclutter finds these orphaned files and offers to remove them.
A one-click scan that walks the directories most likely to contain reclaimable space, ranks findings by size, and surfaces the biggest wins first. Most users see 20–50 GB recovered on the first run.
Find videos, photos, documents, and attachments you thought were lost. Search by date, source, file type, and keyword across Photo Booth, Messages, Photos, Trash, personal folders, and mounted drives.

When a video, photo, document, or attachment goes missing, Finder search is often not enough. Unclutter Pro performs a read-only search across the places macOS and Apple apps keep files, then copies selected results into a clean recovery folder.
Photo Booth movies and pictures
Messages attachments and temporary media
Photos Library originals, Trash, and mounted volumes
Optional hashes, search summary, and video contact sheets
Three steps. Nothing is deleted without your review.
Unclutter walks the directories macOS uses for caches, logs, and temporary files. The scan is read-only — nothing is deleted yet.
Findings are grouped by category and sorted by size. Expand any group to see exactly which files will be removed. You stay in control.
Click clean. Files are moved to the Trash (or removed directly, your choice). A typical first run frees 20–100 GB in under two minutes.
macOS quietly accumulates several gigabytes of data per week in places most users never see. The four biggest offenders are:
~/Library/Caches. This directory rarely self-cleans./private/var/log and ~/Library/Logs accumulate diagnostic files for years.macOS's built-in storage manager (Apple menu → About This Mac → More Info → Storage Settings) shows a high-level breakdown but offers limited control. Unclutter is the layer between that built-in view and manually digging through ~/Library in Terminal.
I had 87 GB of Xcode caches and old simulator data I didn't know existed. Unclutter found it in 30 seconds.
I'm not technical and CleanMyMac always felt like it was about to break something. Unclutter just shows me what's safe to remove and asks before doing anything.
I work with huge Photoshop files all day. Reclaiming 60+ GB of caches and leftovers meant I could keep working without buying a bigger SSD.
