AppCleaner is a free utility application from FreeMacSoft that helps Mac users completely uninstall applications and remove all their associated files. When you delete an app by simply dragging it to the Trash, it often leaves behind preference files, caches, and other remnants scattered throughout your system. AppCleaner solves this by scanning for and removing all related files when you uninstall an application, ensuring a clean removal. The app works by either dragging applications directly onto it or by browsing and selecting apps to uninstall. It's particularly popular among Mac users who frequently install and test software, as it helps keep their systems tidy and prevents the accumulation of leftover files that can consume disk space over time.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionGood news! AppCleaner now has full native Apple Silicon support as a Universal Binary. Our community has confirmed version 3.6.8 running natively on 9 different Macs. You should update to the latest version (3.6.8) from the developer's official website to get native performance on Apple Silicon. The app includes auto-update functionality, so future updates should be seamless. If for some reason you prefer an alternative, other well-regarded native options include Hazel (for automated file management) or Nektony App Cleaner & Uninstaller, both of which also offer complete app removal capabilities.
