com.piriform.ccleaner.CCleanerAgent
CCleaner Agent is a background helper daemon that runs as part of Piriform's CCleaner software, one of the most widely used disk-cleaning and system-optimization utilities for macOS. The daemon performs scheduled maintenance tasks such as temporary file removal, cache clearing, registry/preference cleanup, and background monitoring on behalf of the main CCleaner application. It runs silently in the background to keep the system tidy without requiring manual intervention between user-initiated cleaning sessions.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionCCleaner Agent is not a standalone app — it is a background helper daemon bundled inside the main CCleaner application. There is nothing to update separately. To ensure it runs natively on Apple Silicon, you must update the parent CCleaner application itself. Visit Piriform's download page at ccleaner.com or use the built-in Check for Updates feature inside CCleaner's main window to pull the latest version, which includes a native Apple Silicon build. If you originally installed CCleaner from the Mac App Store, update it through the App Store instead. Once the parent CCleaner app is on a native build, the Agent daemon will run natively as well. Confirm the update is complete by checking About CCleaner — it should report an arm64 architecture once the native version is installed.
