Developer clutter
Xcode DerivedData, archives and device support — plus the build folders scattered across your projects: node_modules, Rust target, Pods. Usually the biggest thing on a developer's disk, and all of it regenerates.

before you pay.
Plenty of cleaners blur the result until you buy. Spotless scans everything for free — every file, every size, every category — and only asks you to pay when you've decided it's worth cleaning.
- Free, unlimited scans across every category
- Each item marked Safe or needs review
- You check the file list before anything goes
Everything a disk fills up with
One app for every kind of clutter.
Junk & caches
App caches, logs, crash reports, saved state, and leftovers from npm, Homebrew and friends — each rule checked against a safety list.
Duplicate files
Compared by content, not filename. Identical files are grouped so you keep one and drop the rest.
Similar photos
Burst sequences and the same frame taken six times, grouped so you can keep the best shot.
Large files
Your biggest files, sorted — so a forgotten disk image or video export can't hide.
Uninstall apps properly
Removes an app together with its support files, caches, preferences and saved state. The Leftovers view finds what apps you deleted long ago left behind.
Disk visualizer
An interactive map of where your space went. Click into a folder instead of guessing.
Browser privacy
Review and clear history, cookies and site data across the browsers you use, one profile at a time.
Menu-bar mode
Hide the Dock icon and Spotless lives in the menu bar: a quick system monitor on click, Smart Scan on right-click.
Login items
See what launches when you log in and switch it off — reversible, and it leaves the app's files alone.
Skins & backdrops
Make it yours.Try it — this page changes with you.
Six color skins Free
Each one tuned for light and dark mode.
Six backdrops
Each with dimming, blur and accent already tuned. Aurora is free; the rest come with the unlock.
Or use a picture of your own — JPEG, PNG or HEIC, with adjustable dimming and blur. It's copied into the app's own folder and never leaves your Mac.
Your files stay on your Mac.
No account. No sign-in. No ads. No tracking. Spotless is a fast, local tool — nothing about your files ever leaves the machine.

Questions
Good to know.
Is the scan really free?
Yes. Scanning, the disk visualizer and the system overview are free and unlimited, and the result is never blurred — every file, every size. You only pay to remove what it found.
Is it safe to clean?
Every rule is checked against a safety list, each item is marked Safe or needs review, and you see the full file list before anything is removed.
Direct download or App Store?
The direct download runs outside the macOS sandbox with Full Disk Access, so it can reach system caches, empty the Trash and remove apps completely. The App Store version is sandboxed: the core cleaning works, limited to the folders you grant. Full comparison →
How do I get my license key?
It is emailed to the address you paid with, usually within a few minutes. Paste it into the app once. If it has not arrived, check spam, then write to [email protected].
How many Macs does a license cover?
The 1-year license covers one Mac. The lifetime license covers up to three, and you can move a seat to a new Mac when you retire an old one.
Does anything leave my Mac?
No. There is no account, no sign-in, no ads and no tracking. Everything happens on your Mac, and nothing about your files leaves it.
