A Mac disk cleaner app that finally fixes the "System Data" problem. Find the cache, junks and logs eating your space and delete them with 1 click.
Comment highlights
This sounds very interesting!
What is the minimum macOS version?
That “System Data” blob is the bane of my existence… curious tho: what’s your method for figuring out what’s actually safe to delete vs stuff macOS will just recreate (or worse, break)? Do you show a preview / size breakdown before the 1-click nuke
The one-time purchase vs subscription approach is refreshing. How does the offline scan work technically—does it analyze file metadata, or does it need to access actual file content to identify junk?
Cool concept, I have a python script I run that auto cleans all caches etc but can't expect the normal user to be able to do that =)
Congrats on launching FreeUpMyMac on Product Hunt! 🎉 Solving the opaque “System Data” bloat in a focused, one-click Mac cleaner with fast scans, clear visualizations, and an offline, privacy-safe approach feels like a very timely, opinionated take in a crowded utility space.
Hey hunters 👋🏽
I'm a YC founder turned indie hacker - excited the share FreeUpMyMac
I built FreeUpMyMac because my System Data was taking up 300GB and it took me months to figure out how to clear the old cache, logs, junk and more. And CleanMyMac is a subscription - I refuse to pay subscription fees for Mac apps that run locally. FreeUpMyMac is the opposite: offline, lifetime, and clears junk with 1 click.
