About CleanMyMac
CleanMyMac, from MacPaw, is an all-in-one maintenance app for macOS. Its Smart Care routine runs five tasks at once: cleaning system junk, scanning for malware, boosting performance, updating software and decluttering storage. Other tools uninstall apps with their leftover files, find duplicate and similar photos and large or forgotten files, manage memory and CPU load, and reveal large files and redundant local copies in cloud storage. The app is notarized by Apple and requires macOS 11 or later. MacPaw offers a free trial and sells the app as a subscription.
Good for
Mac users who want one guided app for freeing space, removing apps cleanly, keeping software updated and running malware checks.
Watch out for
Full use requires a purchase after the trial. Removing files is permanent, so review what Smart Care selects. The store page sits behind a bot check.
Pricing notes
As of October 2026 the product page says pricing starts at $3.33/month (likely an annual plan shown per month); the store page could not be read, so plan details are unverified.
