PureMac
Keep your Mac clean. Keep control.
A lightweight Mac cleaner that shows you what is using your storage and never removes anything without your say-so.
PureMac is in development and not available yet. This page will link to the App Store when it’s released, and to the source code once the repository is public.

Overview
What we’re building with PureMac
PureMac helps you understand where your disk space has gone: large files, caches, duplicates and forgotten downloads. It explains what it finds in plain language so you can decide what to keep.
Cleanup tools work with your personal files, so they have to earn your trust. PureMac is open source, has no ads or upsells, and is designed to show exactly what an action will do before it happens.
Made for
- Anyone running low on storage
- People who prefer to understand before they delete
Planned features
PureMac is in development. These describe the product direction and may change before release.
Storage at a glance
See which folders and kinds of files are taking up the most space, in a view that's easy to scan.
Large file finder
Surface the biggest files in the folders you choose, sorted and ready to review.
Duplicate detection
Find identical files and decide which copy to keep, with both locations shown side by side.
Cache review
Review app caches in locations you've granted access to, with notes on what is generally safe to clear.
Review before removal
Nothing is removed automatically. You confirm every item, and removed files go to the Trash first.
Plain-language explanations
Every category explains what the files are and what happens if you remove them. No alarming warnings.
Understand
See where your space went
Before you clean anything, PureMac shows you the shape of your storage: which folders grew, which file types dominate, and what's been sitting untouched for months.
- Folder and category breakdowns
- Large and old file lists
- Scans run entirely on your Mac
Decide
You choose, every time
PureMac is designed around review, not automation. Items are listed with their size, location and a short explanation, and nothing moves until you confirm.
- Nothing selected by default
- Clear reasons next to every item
- Removed items go to the Trash
Tidy
One copy is usually enough
Photos exported twice, installers downloaded three times. PureMac finds identical files and shows each copy's location, so keeping the right one is easy.
- Content-based duplicate matching
- Side-by-side locations
- Keep-newest and keep-oldest helpers
Why PureMac
Reasons to choose PureMac
You stay in charge
PureMac explains and suggests. You decide. There's no one-click 'clean everything' button hiding consequences.
No scare tactics
No inflated junk counts, red warning screens or pressure to upgrade. Just an honest view of your storage.
Open and auditable
Anything that deletes files should be inspectable. The full source code is public.
A fair yearly price
A small annual subscription, without bundled extras you didn't ask for.
Privacy and open source
Nothing hidden, nothing collected.
Private by design
- Scans run locally on your Mac
- File names and contents are never uploaded
- No analytics or telemetry
- Access only to folders you grant
If you buy PureMac through an app store, that store processes the transaction under its own privacy policy. See our privacy policy for details.
Open source
PureMac’s source code is public, so anyone can review how it works and report issues in the open. A subscription is the easy way to use it, with automatic updates and support, and it funds continued development.
The repository link will appear here once it’s public. How we work in the open

FAQ
PureMac questions
Will PureMac delete files automatically?
No. PureMac is designed to list what it finds and explain it. You choose what to remove, and removed items are moved to the Trash first so you can change your mind.
Why does PureMac ask me to choose folders?
Mac App Store apps run in a sandbox that limits file access. Rather than asking for broad system permissions, PureMac works with the folders you explicitly share with it.
Does PureMac upload anything?
No. Scanning happens on your Mac. PureMac doesn't send file names, file contents or usage data to OpenAppBox or anyone else.
When will PureMac be available?
PureMac is in development. When it's released, this page will link to its App Store listing.
How much will PureMac cost?
PureMac will be an annual subscription with a deliberately small price. The final price will be shown on the App Store.
