This product was not featured by Product Hunt yet. It will not be visible on their landing page and won't be ranked (cannot win product of the day regardless of upvotes).
I built Prune because I wanted a Mac cleaner I could trust. Most of them come with a subscription, lock features behind a paywall, or ask you to take their word for what they delete.
Prune is a free, open-source Mac cleaner and uninstaller, built natively in Swift and SwiftUI. It’s 100% free, with no ads and no “Pro” version.
What’s inside:
🧹 Smart Scan: junk to clean and the state of macOS protections, in one click 🗑 Cleanup: caches, logs, Xcode and package managers, iPhone files, Mail attachments 🔒 Privacy: history, cookies and caches for Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Brave, Arc, Opera and Vivaldi. Passwords and bookmarks stay intact 📦 Uninstaller: remove apps completely and find leftovers of apps you already deleted 💽 Files: Space Lens disk map, large and old files, duplicates, secure shredder 📊 Dashboard and menu bar: CPU, memory, disk, network and battery in real time
Safety was the main design rule:
• Nothing is deleted without your confirmation • System and personal folders are protected • Your personal files go to the Trash, so you can undo
One honest note: Prune isn’t notarized by Apple yet (that needs a paid developer account), so macOS asks you to confirm the first time you open it: System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway. All the code is on GitHub, and every release lists its SHA-256 checksums.
What would you want a Mac cleaner to do that the others don’t? 🙏
