Thirteen cleanup and care tools in one native Mac app. Pay $20 once — no subscription. Nothing is removed until you’ve reviewed it, and anything you remove can be put back.
Cleaners earn trust by being boring and predictable. Clearloft shows you every single file, tells you why it’s there, and keeps a way back.
Every file listed with a Quick Look preview, its size, its location and the reason it was found. Untick anything you want to keep.
Every cleanup is logged. Restore anything Clearloft moved to the Trash back to its original folder in one click.
Add folders, files or apps that Clearloft should always skip — they’ll never appear in a scan again.
System locations are off-limits. Removals go to the Trash by default, so you always get a second chance.
Each tool does one job well, shows its work, and stays out of your way.
One button runs the safe checks across every tool and gathers the results into a single review.
Clear out the files macOS and your apps leave behind.
Find the big things you forgot you had.
A size map of your disk you can click into.
Exact copies, found with certainty.
Bursts, near-duplicates and screenshot piles.
Reclaim the gigabytes your projects quietly grow.
Clear your traces and see who can access what.
Know exactly what runs when your Mac starts.
Remove apps completely, not just the icon.
See what’s out of date across every source.
Live vitals and one-click maintenance.
Check your Mac’s health at a glance.
A complete log of every action Clearloft has taken — and the way back.

Clearloft is designed so nothing surprises you. Every scan ends in a review sheet that lists each file with a preview, size and the reason it was found — untick anything to keep it. Removals go to the Trash first by default, History & Undo can put items back in their original folder, and protected system folders and your never-touch list are always skipped.
Clearloft is sold directly, not through the Mac App Store, because the App Store sandbox doesn’t allow the kind of disk access a cleaner needs. Depending on how your copy was built and signed, macOS may show a warning the first time you open it.
If it does, open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down, and click Open Anyway next to the Clearloft message. You only need to do this once. If you bought Pro + Source, you can also build and sign it yourself in Xcode.
It’s recommended, not required. macOS hides folders such as Mail downloads, Safari data and some app containers from every app unless you grant Full Disk Access. Without it, Clearloft still works — it simply can’t see those locations and will tell you which tools are limited.
You can grant or revoke it any time in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Full Disk Access.
No. There’s no account, no sign-in and no analytics. Scans, file lists and history stay on your Mac. The only network use is checking for app updates and the optional internet speed test, which runs only when you start it.
Any Mac running macOS 13 Ventura or later, on both Apple Silicon and Intel. It’s a native SwiftUI app — no Electron, no web wrapper.
No. Every plan is a single payment. Personal includes free updates for all 1.x releases, and you keep the version you bought for as long as you like.
Pro + Source includes the complete Swift/SwiftUI project, ready to open in Xcode. Build it, read exactly what every tool does, and change it for your own use.
Own It adds a commercial, white-label license: rebrand it, modify it and sell your own version, with lifetime updates to the source. It licenses the code only — the Clearloft name and trademark aren’t included.
If Clearloft doesn’t help, email support@lnkbase.com within 30 days of purchase and we’ll refund you.
Thirteen tools, every file reviewed, every removal undoable. $20, once.
