And I apologize for the almost unreadable formatting, a severe limitation of MacUpdate itself, which compresses maximum text into minimum space, leaving no whitespace for readability. But if all you can come up with is 5 stars and a sentence or two saying that program X is great and I don't know what I'm talking about, please save your breath. I will rate all these programs with one star, probably one more than they deserve. If I have missed any programs that should be on the list, please leave a comment and let me know. You are well-advised to read any program documentation and make a RELIABLE BACKUP before attempting any changes. Macs simply do not need 'cleaning.' (See for example: ) Some of these programs are notorious for being little more than malware.

True experts in macOS maintenance advise against using any of them, because in general they serve little useful purpose and they can easily do more harm than good. Most of the developers' descriptions boast about what a great job they do, but the truth is, there are no good, comprehensive, head-to-head reviews of these programs by impartial 3rd parties. Many - probably the most accurate and honest - have negative reviews, by users who have been burned by them. Many have what look to be essentially fake 5-star reviews with no useful commentary. There are now 45 in the list, and it seems like new entries in the 'Mac cleaner' market space pop up every day, metastasizing like a cancer. I intend to post this every time a new or updated version of one of these things shows up on this site. As a public service to the MacUpdate community, I've found as many of these 'cleaner' apps on this website as I could and listed them them below. This is not a review per se, it is a discussion of the class of software to which this program belongs. Omni Remover would be your best helper for its simple operation and powerful Mac application removal ability.

Probably you'll find them again in future even when you think you've sent them away. But it's another story if you have 'stubborn' apps.

App Force Uninstall - uninstalling Mac apps is simple since most apps are self-contained that don't mess with the Mac system.

Omni Remover can keep track of those files, so the application could get removed completely.

Mac App Uninstall - the core purpose of Omni Remover is to clean a collection of no-longer-needed files that are left behind when you uninstall an app on Mac.

Mac Clean - the new Omni Remover comes to offer a wealth of Mac cleaning tools that were beautifully designed to clean unneeded files, like outdated caches, broken downloads, logs, and useless localizations.

It can clean uninstall malicious and stubborn apps, purge 32-bit, orphaned apps leftover and put on-demand storage optimization on macOS Monterey. Omni Remover is all-in-one package to keep your Mac in fit.
