DataSweeper is a native macOS disk cleaner that finds what's eating your space.
System data, duplicates, large and junk files, cleaned up safely by going to Trash first.
$9.99 once. Free updates for life.
It scans everything, you handpick what you delete.
Caches, logs, and temporary files that pile up invisibly. After Effects alone can leave 80GB of render cache you never knew existed.
Exact duplicates hiding across your drive — the same PDF downloaded three times, photos backed up twice, project files copied and forgotten.
That 4K export from 2019 sitting in your Downloads folder. Old Xcode simulators. Virtual machine files you stopped using. All surfaced, sorted by size.
App installers you ran once and never deleted. Support files left behind by apps you uninstalled years ago. Small individually, gigabytes together.
Nothing gets permanently deleted without your review.
Know when a scan is done.
From the Mac App Store.
"The app made it super simple to get back 70GB of space with a few minutes work, well worth it!"
Everything you need to know.

DataSweeper supports macOS Sequoia and macOS Tahoe. It runs natively on Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4) and Intel Macs. Mac only — no iOS or iPadOS.
No. Everything happens locally on your Mac. Zero network connections, zero telemetry, zero analytics. Your file names and usage patterns never leave your machine.
No. It only scans when you open it and start a scan. No background agent, no menu bar daemon, no scheduled processes running without your knowledge.
Four categories: System Data (caches, logs, temporary files), Duplicate Files (exact matches via SHA-256), Large Files (forgotten exports, old simulators, VM files), and Junk Files (old installers plus leftover files from apps you've already uninstalled).

I built DataSweeper because I wanted to clean my Mac quickly and cheaply. Most apps do too much or are too expensive. Paying a monthly fee for something I use a couple of times a year seemed like overkill. So I built the app I wished existed — simple, cleans system data and more, with a nice user experience. I hope you'll like it too. I'm also a solo builder, very keen on making it better, so if you need anything, shoot me a message!
One-time $9.99. No subscription. Works on Mac Tahoe.
