AppCleaner

AppCleaner – fully uninstall Mac apps for free.

When you drag an app to the Trash, macOS only removes the app itself. It leaves behind preference files, caches, logs, and support files scattered across your system. AppCleaner finds and removes all of it in one go. It is free, lightweight, and has been a go-to uninstaller for Mac users for years.

Key Features:

  • Complete Uninstall: Finds and removes all files related to an app — not just the app itself.
  • Drag and Drop: Drop any app onto AppCleaner and it instantly shows every file associated with it.
  • Smart Delete: Enable Smart Delete and AppCleaner will automatically prompt you whenever you move an app to the Trash.
  • App Browser: Browse all installed apps from inside AppCleaner and clean them without hunting through Finder.
  • Widgets and Plugins: Also removes associated widgets, preference panes, and login items.
  • Lightweight: No background processes, no bloat — opens when you need it and stays out of the way when you don't.
  • Free: No subscription, no upsells, no limits.
