Excited to be back on Product Hunt! 🚀
I’m Yuriy, CTO at Nektony, and today we’re relaunching App Cleaner & Uninstaller - now evolved into a complete app manager for macOS.
For years, we were known for fully removing apps. But modern Mac users need more than uninstalling, so we turned it into a full control center for everything installed on your Mac.
Now you can:
🚀 Manage the full app lifecycle
• Completely uninstall apps (no leftovers)
• Update apps in one place
• Remove stubborn system extensions
• Control startup items
🔐 Improve security & transparency
• Check Apple notarization status to ensure the app is trusted
• See detailed app permissions (camera, mic, disk, location, etc.)
• Understand what runs in the background
• Get AI summaries to instantly understand each app
Our goal is simple: give Mac users clarity, control, and confidence.
If you’ve ever wondered what’s safe to remove, struggled with leftovers, or wanted better visibility into your apps - this release is for you.
