About AppCleaner
AppCleaner is a small, free application from FreeMacSoft that lets you thoroughly uninstall unwanted apps on macOS. Installing an app spreads many small files across your system, such as preferences, caches and support files, which stay behind when you simply move the app to the Trash.
With AppCleaner you just drop an application onto its window. It finds the related files and lists them, and you remove everything with a click of the delete button. The current release requires macOS 15 or later, while older releases remain available on the official site for earlier versions of macOS. It is freeware rather than open source, and can also be installed with Homebrew.
Key features
- Drag-and-drop uninstalling
- Finds related files spread across the system
