MacKeeper is a comprehensive security, optimization, and privacy toolkit for macOS from Clario Tech FZCO. It includes antivirus and adware detection, system cleaning tools (duplicates finder, smart uninstaller, cache removal), memory optimization, performance monitoring, and privacy features including a VPN and anti-tracking tools. The app runs a privileged helper daemon in the background to enable 24/7 monitoring and automatic protection. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionMacKeeper's privileged helper daemon is a sub-component of the main MacKeeper application and is updated automatically whenever you update MacKeeper itself. A native Apple Silicon build of MacKeeper now exists and has been confirmed running on real Macs. To move from the Intel version to the native build, simply reinstall or update MacKeeper from mackeeper.com/download/. The standard installer automatically serves the Universal Binary (native Apple Silicon plus Intel compatibility) on M-series Macs, so download and run the MacKeeper.pkg file and follow the installation wizard. Your existing settings, scan history, and subscription will carry over without any manual migration. After installation, the privileged helper will also be updated to the native version. You should see noticeably faster performance and lower background CPU usage compared to running under Rosetta 2.
