Clean
Caches, logs, and system junk — every item reviewable before it is deleted.
- User and system caches, logs, mail attachments, Trash bins
- Running-app caches are flagged, never yanked
- Nothing is removed until you approve the review list
Features
One scan. Complete system care.
FastSweep brings nine scannable care surfaces, a live health score, and review-first cleanup into a single native app — with Monitor and Shredder as always-on surfaces beside them.
Fast Scan, one pass — every item reviewable
One click scans Clean, Guard, Tune, Apps, Files, Storage Map, Cloud, Local AI, and Silicon Health, then computes a 0–100 health score with plain-language reasons. Caches, logs, app leftovers, similar images, and large files each arrive as reviewable findings with a reason, a size, and a proposed action. Similar-image clusters open a side-by-side visual compare so you keep the right frame.
- Categorized cleanup: caches, logs, leftovers, similar images, large files
- Side-by-side compare for similar-image clusters
- Nothing is deleted until you approve it
A storage map you can actually zoom
The Storage Map builds a graphical, zoomable treemap of what occupies the volume, with a sunburst alternative and a synchronized list for keyboard and VoiceOver users. Click a tile to drill down; selection feeds the review-first removal flow. The graphic itself never deletes anything.
- Treemap and sunburst with drill-down and breadcrumb navigation
- Synchronized list keeps the map accessible
- Quick Look and Finder reveal before you decide
Live vitals, strictly read-only
The Monitor samples CPU load, memory used and pressure, swap, network throughput, battery, and free storage every two seconds over a rolling window, alongside thermal state. It is observational by design: the surface states plainly that nothing on this Mac is changed. The same signals appear as sparklines in the menu-bar popover.
- CPU, memory, swap, network, battery, and disk graphs
- Thermal state and battery vitals at a glance
- Read-only — included in both editions
Silicon Health: the signals that actually matter
Silicon Health measures swap-write rate and a 24-hour projection from real samples, names the memory contributors driving pressure, and pairs that with read-only hardware facts: battery cycle count against the rated 1,000-cycle design life, and the disk S.M.A.R.T. status exactly as macOS reports it. Where a disk exposes no S.M.A.R.T. data, FastSweep says so instead of guessing a wear percentage.
- Swap-write pressure with a reduction plan
- Battery cycles vs. rated design life
- S.M.A.R.T. as reported — never inferred
Shredder and the Direct-edition toolset
The Shredder overwrites selected files with one or three passes before truncate and unlink, with an explicit per-file confirmation and a permanent-deletion warning up front — including the honest limits of overwriting on APFS snapshots and wear-leveled SSDs. Around it, the Tools workspace direct-launches focused workflows for every care surface, from duplicate finding to app leftovers and CLI caches.
- Confirmed multi-pass secure delete, per file
- Honest about snapshots and SSD wear-leveling
- Tools: direct-launch workflows for every surface
Workspace
A tools bench for every surface.
Tools collects focused workflows — duplicate finder, app leftovers, CLI and editor caches, login items, maintenance tasks, and more — with search, recently launched shortcuts, and per-module groupings. In the Direct edition it also hosts Screen Cleaning Mode.
Eleven care surfaces
Everything your Mac needs, in one app.
Fast Scan covers nine of them in a single pass. Monitor and Shredder are always-on surfaces outside the scan. Surfaces marked Direct need the Direct edition, because the App Sandbox cannot do writes.
Guard
Signature malware scan plus a user-space realtime file-event watch.
- On-demand signature scan against a local database
- Realtime FSEvents watch alerts on new matches — it never kernel-blocks
- Privacy traces and sensitive permission review
Tune
Maintenance tasks, login items, and background services you control.
- Maintenance tasks and Time Machine snapshot thinning
- Login items and background services review
- Every task runs only after your confirmation
Apps
An inventory with on-demand sizes and an uninstaller that finds leftovers.
- Sizes enriched on demand, so the list opens instantly
- Uninstall removes the bundle plus support files and receipts
- Leftover sweep for apps you already deleted
Files
Large files, duplicates, similar images, and stale downloads.
- Similar-image clusters with a side-by-side visual compare
- Exact duplicates with smart keep suggestions
- Large, old, and download clutter flagged for explicit review
Storage Map
A graphical, zoomable map of what actually occupies the volume.
- Treemap and sunburst views with drill-down
- Synchronized list for keyboard and VoiceOver users
- Selection feeds the review flow — the graphic deletes nothing
Cloud
Dropbox, Google Drive, and OneDrive cleanup over OAuth PKCE.
- OAuth PKCE sign-in over a loopback redirect — no shared secrets
- Removals land in the provider trash, so originals stay recoverable
- iCloud Drive scanned locally from its on-disk sync folder
Local AI
Model weights, editor and CLI caches, and local vector stores.
- Hugging Face, Ollama, LM Studio, and ComfyUI weights
- Editor and CLI caches (Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot, and more)
- Prompt history is high-risk and never auto-cleaned
Silicon Health
Apple-silicon swap-write risk, battery cycle health, and S.M.A.R.T. status.
- Swap-write rate and 24h projection from real samples
- Battery cycle count against the rated design life
- Disk S.M.A.R.T. status as reported — never guessed
Monitor
Live CPU, memory, swap, network, battery, and disk graphs. Read-only.
- Sampling every 2 seconds with an 8-minute rolling window
- Thermal state, battery, and free-storage vitals
- Strictly observational — nothing on your Mac is changed
Shredder
Confirmed multi-pass secure delete for files that must not come back.
- 1 or 3 overwrite passes before truncate and unlink
- Per-file confirmation — nothing runs without an explicit confirm
- Honest about limits: snapshots and SSD wear-leveling
Everyday surfaces
Present where you already are.
FastSweep lives in the menu bar, on your desktop, and on a schedule — not just in a window you have to remember to open.
Menu-bar popover
Status at a glance with per-metric sparklines, quick actions, and the next scheduled maintenance run.
Desktop widget
A read-only status snapshot on your desktop with deep links straight into the matching screen.
Scheduled maintenance
Daily, weekly, or monthly automatic runs. The menu bar always shows when the next run is due.
App updater
One-click installs fetched from cryptographically signed manifests, verified before they run.
Screen Cleaning Mode
An input-dimming overlay so you can wipe the display safely. Three enforced escape routes, 120s hard cap.
Activity log
A local record of every action with item, path, size, behavior, and result. Yours, on your disk.
The popover samples live vitals and keeps a per-metric sparkline history in memory. Scheduled maintenance shows its next run in the menu bar; in the Mac App Store edition the schedule reminds you instead of running writes automatically.
Three steps
Three steps, zero surprises.
- 01
Run Fast Scan
One click scans the care surfaces your edition exposes and computes a health score in seconds. Pause or cancel anytime; partial results stay available.
- 02
Review every finding
Each item lists its reason, size, and proposed action. Similar images open a side-by-side compare so you keep the right one.
- 03
Approve, then act
Only what you confirm runs. Removals go to Trash where possible, and every action is written to a local log you can reopen.
Give your system a fresh start.
Read-only care is free on the Mac App Store. The Direct edition adds the full write-capable toolset — cleanup, shredder, cloud cleanup, and signed updates.
