App Cleaner & Uninstaller is no longer just an uninstaller - it’s now a complete app manager for macOS. We’ve rebuilt it to give you full visibility and control over every app on your Mac. Now you can: • Update apps in one place without searching manually • See detailed app permissions (camera, mic, disk, location, etc.) • Get AI-generated app summaries to quickly understand what an app does • Check Apple notarization to know which apps you can trust
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.
Would love your feedback - what’s missing from your ideal Mac app manager? 👇
Can it do AI-generated summaries for process names in activity monitor.app?
Really excited to see how App Cleaner & Uninstaller has evolved into a full app manager. The updater is my favorite feature — updating all my apps in one click feels amazing ❤️
I love the new App permissions feature to check which apps have access to my camera and location.
