Pearcleaner

Pearcleaner is a powerful and completely free Mac app cleaner that goes far beyond simple app removal. Born from the need for a comprehensive macOS cleaning solution, this open-source tool helps you reclaim valuable disk space by finding and removing leftover files that standard uninstalls leave behind.

Key benefits include:

• Orphaned file detection - Discovers remaining files from previously deleted applications
• Universal app optimization - Strip unnecessary architectures to reduce app sizes without needing Xcode
• Automated monitoring - Sentinel helper watches your Trash folder and cleans up automatically
• Development environment cleaning - Perfect for developers managing cache and temporary files
• Launch Agent/Daemon management - Complete control over background processes
• Steam games support - Handles game files and related data
• Finder integration - Optional right-click uninstall directly from Finder
• Export capabilities - Bundle apps with their settings for easy migration

The app features drag-and-drop simplicity, deep link automation support, and a customizable theme system. With its tiny 210KB sentinel monitor using just 2MB of RAM, Pearcleaner works silently in the background.
