#7 in Utility Software · Rated 4.5
Mac cleaner and optimizer with privacy features
CleanMyMac X from MacPaw is a polished all-in-one maintenance tool for macOS that cleans junk, analyzes disk space via Space Lens, uninstalls apps, and includes malware/security safeguards. The 2024–2025 redesign refines the UI and expands storage-visualization and cleanup capabilities, while continuing to emphasize ease of use for everyday Mac maintenance. The product is widely adopted on macOS and is available through MacPaw's store, the Mac App Store, and Setapp. CleanMyMac X distinguishes itself with a consumer-friendly interface, curated maintenance routines, and a balance of cleanup and protection features that appeal to casual Mac users who want visible space gains with minimal effort. Critics sometimes cite price and data-collection concerns, which the vendor addresses with transparency and a clear 30-day return window.
