Clean your Mac without blindly deleting things.
Clean up & speed up your Mac.
A native macOS cleaner that shows you exactly where your space went and gets it back — a real app uninstaller with every leftover, an interactive storage map, duplicate finder, and a live health score. One click, review-first, nothing deleted without you.
macOS 14+ · free core, Breeze Pro $24.99 one-time · nothing leaves your Mac
One window, the whole Mac
A health score, and one click to act on it.
Open Breeze and see your Mac's health score, every volume's free space and your drive's health — with a single Clean that sweeps caches, logs and leftovers to the Trash.
Safety & Control
Clean your Mac without blindly deleting things.
Most cleaning utilities ask you to press one big scary button and trust their black box with your filesystem. Breeze was designed for Mac users who want complete visibility before a single byte moves.
Files go to the Trash first. Nothing is silently vaporized.
Breeze does not delete files behind your back. Items are moved to your standard macOS Trash so you can easily review, inspect, or put back any file. Only The Shredder permanently overwrites data, and it requires explicit confirmation every time.
- ✓Every item is inspected: See full file paths, sizes, and which app created them.
- ✓Ambiguous files start unticked: We never guess on edge cases. You retain total control.
- ✓No SIP violations: Strictly respects macOS System Integrity Protection boundaries.
Everything you need to reclaim space
Find it, understand it, get it back.
From a one-click Smart Scan to a folder-by-folder storage map — Breeze shows you what's taking room and what's safe to remove.
Smart Scan
A live Health Score across disk, junk, startup and protection — with a one-click Clean that sweeps caches, logs and leftovers to the Trash.
Storage map
An interactive, folder-by-folder map of where your space actually goes — click in, reveal any item in Finder, watch bars turn red as a drive fills.
Real uninstaller
Removes an app and every leftover — preferences, caches, containers, login items — and finds every copy on disk, not just the one you clicked.
Leftovers
Orphaned files from apps you already deleted, including hidden data folders — grouped, with anything ambiguous held back for your review.
Duplicates & similar photos
Hash-based duplicate finder and a perceptual-hash similar-photo sweep to clear redundant copies and near-identical shots.
Developer & Creator
Xcode DerivedData, device support, archives and package caches — the rebuildable ones pre-ticked, archives left for you to decide. Often the single biggest win on a developer's Mac.
Unused apps
Apps you genuinely haven't touched in months — judged by real activity, not just an often-missing "last opened" date.
Updates
Outdated apps across Homebrew, the Mac App Store and direct downloads — plus pending macOS updates, in one place.
Privacy & app hygiene
Clear browsing and app traces, and get a heads-up when a new startup item appears — so nothing starts running at login without you knowing.
The Shredder
Need something truly gone? Overwrites sensitive files before deleting them, so even recovery tools can't bring them back. Requires explicit confirmation every time.
Purgeable space
Cleans out old local Time Machine snapshots and bloated system caches that macOS refuses to release, giving you back gigabytes of hostage space.
Permission auditor
See exactly which apps have access to your camera and microphone — with one-click buttons jumping straight to the right System Settings pane.
A real uninstaller.
Dragging an app to the Trash leaves its preferences, caches, containers and login items behind — quietly eating gigabytes for apps you thought were gone. Breeze finds all of it and removes it together.
- ✓Finds every copy of an app on disk, not just the one in /Applications.
- ✓Sweeps preferences, caches, containers, login items, launch agents and receipts.
- ✓Catches hidden data folders apps create outside the usual Library locations.
- ✓Anything it can't be certain about is held back for review — never auto-selected.
The 50–100 GB power users hoard.
Build tools and creative apps quietly stockpile caches that dwarf ordinary junk. Breeze rounds up the big ones — and because every one rebuilds itself, clearing them is safe.
- ✓Stale project node_modules, untouched 60+ days — reinstallable with
npm install. Your project folders only, never your tools. - ✓Xcode DerivedData, device support, unavailable simulators & CocoaPods caches.
- ✓Docker dangling images, pruned safely — never a tagged image you're using.
- ✓Final Cut Pro render caches and Adobe media caches that quietly hoard tens of GB.
Safe by design
Scan → Review → Clean.
Breeze never deletes on a hunch. Every cleanup shows you exactly what it found, and everything it removes goes to the Trash — so you can always get it back.
Scan
A read-only pass across caches, logs, leftovers, duplicates and large files — with real sizes, nothing touched yet.
Review
See every item grouped by category and size. Uncheck anything you want to keep; ambiguous items start unticked.
Clean
One click moves your selection to the Trash. Nothing is permanently deleted until you empty it yourself.

What happens on your Mac, stays on your Mac.
Breeze has no account, no sign-in and no analytics. It scans and cleans your Mac locally — nothing about your files or your scan results is ever sent anywhere. Everything it removes goes to the Trash — nothing is permanently deleted until you empty it yourself. (The one exception: if you send an optional bug report, whatever you typed goes to us — never automatically. Full details in our Breeze Privacy Policy.)
Get your space back.
Native, lightweight, and free to start — no card, no account, no subscription.
