A modern, open-source macOS system utility app with Apple's Liquid Glass UI design.

Website | Documentation | Download

MyMacCleaner is a free, open-source alternative to commercial Mac cleaning apps like CleanMyMac. Built with SwiftUI and featuring Apple's latest Liquid Glass design language, it provides a beautiful and efficient way to maintain your Mac.

• macOS 14.0 (Sonoma) or later
• For native Liquid Glass effects: macOS 26.0 (Tahoe) or later
• On macOS 14-15: Beautiful material-based fallback UI

1. Download the latest .dmg from the Releases page
2. Open the DMG and drag MyMacCleaner to your Applications folder
3. First Launch - Since the app is not notarized, macOS will show a security warning

Since MyMacCleaner is distributed for free without Apple Developer signing, macOS Gatekeeper will block it initially. This is normal for open-source apps distributed outside the App Store.

To open the app:

1. Try to open MyMacCleaner → You'll see "Apple cannot check it for malicious software"
2. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security
3. Scroll down to the Security section
4. Find the message about MyMacCleaner being blocked
5. Click "Open Anyway"
6. Enter your password to confirm

After this one-time setup, the app will open normally.

Alternative: Right-click the app and select "Open" from the context menu, then click "Open" in the dialog.

# Clone the repository

MyMacCleaner includes built-in automatic update checking powered by the Sparkle framework. The app periodically checks for new versions in the background, and when an update is available, a notification button appears next to the language switcher in the app toolbar. This provides a seamless update experience - simply click the button to download and install the latest version without leaving the app.

• Language: Swift 5.9+
• UI Framework: SwiftUI
• Design: Apple Liquid Glass (macOS Tahoe style)
• Concurrency: Swift async/await, TaskGroups
• Updates: Sparkle Framework (automatic background checks with in-app notification)
