JunkSweep started as an experimental internal tool built to solve a personal itch. After refining the feature set, tweaking the UI, and focusing heavily on granular control and transparency, it felt polished enough to share with the community.
Today, JunkSweep is officially available for FREE on the Mac App Store!
What is JunkSweep?
Most Mac cleaner tools are either bloated subscriptions, hidden behind aggressive paywalls, or act like "black boxes" where you have to trust the app not to delete something crucial.
JunkSweep was designed with a different philosophy: Total control and zero guesswork.

What is JunkSweep?
Most Mac cleaner tools are either bloated subscriptions, hidden behind aggressive paywalls, or act like "black boxes" where you have to trust the app not to delete something crucial.
JunkSweep was designed with a different philosophy: Total control and zero guesswork.
- You define what gets swept: Set up custom rules, targeted folders, and specific file extensions (caches, old logs, leftover build files, .DS_Store, empty folders, etc.).
- System Hygiene > Just Disk Space: Beyond freeing up gigabytes, it's built for filesystem maintenance—preventing clutter on shared drives (Windows/Linux users hate seeing .DS_Store or ._ metadata files), resetting broken folder view settings, and keeping zip archives clean before sharing.
- Full Transparency: Preview every single file before anything is moved or removed. No accidental deletions.
- Lightweight & Native: Built specifically for macOS with a clean interface that doesn't hoard system resources or run useless background daemons.
- 100% Free: No subscriptions, no ads, no locked features.
- Enhanced Safety Filters: Preview modes allow auditing targeted paths with total peace of mind.
- Smarter Rule Presets: Out-of-the-box templates for common dev/creator junk (Xcode derived data, node_modules, cache folders) without locking you into them.
- App Store Sandbox Compliance: Fully sandboxed and reviewed by Apple for maximum system security.
