PureMac

brew install --cask puremac v2.8.1

Open-source Mac cleaner that removes cache, logs, and app clutter to free up disk space.

Why you might care

Free with no subscription, telemetry, or dark patterns—just straightforward cleanup. Built natively in Swift and open-source, so you can audit exactly what it does. Good choice if you distrust commercial cleaners like CleanMyMac.
