2Disk DoctorQuick scan and deep cleaning of all kinds of junkLink
3MacBoosterFinds duplicate files and has system optimization functionalityLink

A handy cleaner may prove that your Mac is still alive and can actually perform at its best. In this article we’ve brought together some of the best Mac cleaning solutions around to clean, optimize, and maintain Macs that are available in 2020.

Top 10 best cleaners for Mac: Free and premium versions

1. CleanMyMac X

CleanMyMac X takes the first place with good reason — this cleaner combines features of both cleaning software and antimalware tool. Its Smart Scan promises a “nice and thorough scan of your Mac.” It does what it says, detecting junk like user cache files and system logs, checking your Mac for malicious software, and speeding up your MacBook. Looks like, there is a threat in my system, that I need to get rid of:

Frankly speaking, CleanMyMac X is Tesla Roadster among other Mac cleaners. And it does a great job revealing your junk and other clutter, uninstalling unneeded apps and their leftovers, and keeping your Mac’s system clean and optimized. Another pro is that CleanMyMac X is Apple-notarized, which means it’s safe for your Mac. You can download its free version right here.

2. Disk Doctor

Disk Doctor is developed in the UK and was awarded the 'Mac Gem’ award by MacWorld in 2013. CNET and other tech journalists also praise functionality. As of 2020, it still looks like a useful tool for Mac cleaning that removes junk slowing down and reducing the computing power of your Mac.

3. MacBooster

MacBooster is a popular app that is developed at IObit. It cramps so many features under one interface it hardly fits into a “cleaner” niche. What makes it different is the duplicate file remover — an extra option to free up space on Mac. According to the developer, you can altogether delete 20 types of junk files with MacBooster.

MacBooster, in its version 8 rendition, offers real-time Mac protection, which makes it also an antivirus, although, quite a basic one. For example, you can remove malicious browser cookies to evade intrusive advertisements on your Mac. It doesn’t belong to free Mac cleaner apps per se, although a free trial is available. Unlike CleanMyMac, it doesn’t allow you to remove any junk for free in its trial version. To get the taste of MacBooster, you only have to rely on a free scan.

You should know that even when you uninstall MacBooster, some parts of the app may remain on your drive.

4. Onyx

OnyX is a french Mac cleaning solution developed by Titanium software. It weighs only 5 MB but that doesn’t mean its capabilities are limited. OnyX is a tool that programmers will have a lot of fun with. With it, you can peek under the hood of your macOS and automate a whole list of jobs, like disk cleanup and cache removal. You can even tweak the color of folders on your Mac, and even make them invisible. Deservedly, it's among best free Mac cleaners.

OnyX is one of the best Mac cleaners because it cleans many specific under-the-surface files, like inner databases and logs. If you know what is XPC cache is, you’ll probably like this app. But for us, ordinary Mac users who came here for the design and glossy buttons, OnyX will require some learning time.
Those who use OnyX say it is stable and reliable. There is no dedicated customer service (because OnyX is free software), but you shouldn’t be worried. The only likely damage is you accidentally deleting files by yourself.

5. DaisyDisk

DaisyDisk gives you a visual representation of your Mac folders, making it easy to see what is taking up space and delete the folders you don't need. All you need to do is select a drive, DaisyDisk will scan it, then you can delete everything that is wasting valuable space. It comes with a free and premium version.

6. AppCleaner & Uninstaller

If you only need to uninstall apps on Mac, AppCleaner is a good pick. AppCleaner only removes applications, plugins, and widgets, which are again, small apps. AppCleaner works in a familiar drag & drop mode. Its interface is also clean and easy to understand for a newbie.

After feeding the apps to AppCleaner, you should visit the Leftovers section of the app to erase their remains. Why we place AppCleaner & Uninstaller among free Mac cleaner tools? Because it is 100% free. Whether you will fully clean your Mac using it, is a different question.
AppCleaner & Uninstaller is created by FreeMacSoft, also the makers of LiteIcon, an icon customizer for Mac.

7. Smart Mac Care

If you launch Smart Mac Care, it will look hauntingly familiar to other free Mac cleaner apps. Not only features will be called the same, everything up to the fonts, will be identical to some other app you’ve just used. That’s not a minus, though. You can still free up a lot of space with Smart Mac Care.

Smart Mac Care operates by a logic of “scans.” There is a Junk Scan, Malware Scan, Privacy Scan, etc. Just like Mac Booster, Smart Mac Care removes duplicates scattered in various locations on your Mac. There’s also a Memory Optimizer feature that promises to free up RAM on your Mac. In a word, Smart Mac Care resembles every other generic product whose only difference is in packaging. This is supported by the fact that we couldn’t find any credible third-party reviews for this app.

On another skeptical note: to uninstall Smart Mac Care you have to enter your admin password. This is not the case with other Mac cleaners we’ve used.

8. Drive Genius

Drive Genius is labeled a “Mac monitoring software.” It’s a whole suite of tools that provide powerful disk diagnostics. It’s hard to list a thing that this software doesn’t do. You can scan for malware, secure-erase files, customize icons — it’s dozens of apps in one body. What makes Drive Genius unique is, probably, its search for corrupted files and inconsistencies on your drive. If your Mac is an old one, keeping it in good health will be easier with Drive Genius.

Mac Cpu Temp Monitor

In a free version, you can use just a fraction of tools, notably a DiskPulse utility. This is an automatic Mac health checker that notifies you before your hard drive fails. Unlike Mac cleaners that merely scan, it is able to repair damage on your disks, which makes it a real deal. Be prepared that hard drive scan may take some time, but the results are worth it. Also note that Drive Genius is not available for macOS Catalina (as of the beginning of 2020).

Price: $299 for Professional edition
Free version
: Limited Lite edition is available

9. CCleaner

Originally created in 2004 by Piriform, CCleaner comes with a free and professional version, focusing on businesses and business customers. CCleaner is a cross-platform tool, for PCs, Macs, Android, and it has a Cloud, Network and Technician tool, depending on what you need and the platform/software you use.

The premium version comes with a lot more features, including real-time alerts, free updates, and dedicated support. Although created for PCs in the early days, CCleaner does well to identify unwanted files on a Mac, so that users can select and delete the files and folders they don't need to free up space. As a cleaner for Mac, customers are pretty happy with the results of CCleaner.

10. Sensei

The Sensei app is a relatively new app on the market, but it can be another useful tool for your Mac. The Sensei software developers call the app “Pro Mac Cleaner” on their website. I would call it a performance controlling tool.

Sensei presents a detailed picture of how your Mac performs. In the Dashboard, you can find out information about your MacBook, check your CPU’s current temperature, and see how much of your RAM is used. Cooling gives you exact information on your Mac’s fans' speed.

Its Clean option helps to get rid of user cache, logs, large files, etc. The Uninstaller feature allows you to delete apps from your Mac and remove their traces. It doesn’t list pre-installed apps from Apple, such as Safari or Calendar, but it shows every app you have installed on your Mac.

Surely, you can clean up your Mac manually, but using dedicated software will save you tons of time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can’t my Mac clean itself?

Your macOS also has a built-in Mac cleaner, which Apple called Optimized Storage. Though its capabilities are limited, it gives you basic directions on where to start the cleanup. But for a thorough system cleanup and removing malware, you’ll need a dedicated Mac cleaner app.

Can Mac cleaner apps delete my important files?

Typically, best Mac cleaner apps have a protection built-in. They will usually select only those files that are safe for deletion.

Will Mac cleaners slow down my Mac?

Some cleaners try to get into your Login items, thus creating an extra burden on processor. On a flip side, the reliable Mac cleaner apps might even speed up your Mac. They remove all the outdated junk files giving your Mac an extra boost.

Mac cleaning apps you should avoid

PowerBook G4 Titanium don't have a temperature sensor, hence the reason why the script wont give you a proper read out. Rev.A AliBooks and up have these sensors, as well as most G3 PBooks/iBooks.

If you aren't getting any data with this script, look at the output of `ioreg -n IOHWSensor more`. If there aren't any sections that look like:

'polling-period' = 5
'current-value' = 2850816

CPU temperature and hardware sensor readouts in bash

Hi, I wrote this script, and since I sent it in a few days ago a few things have come to my attention. Basically, I was informed that:
'Your function, by coincidence, outputs a value that is ‘close' on some machines when compared to values spewed by some other tools that do the correct interpretation leading to believe that the problem is a simple one.
The correct reading for powerbooks goes like this: The value written in the registry is actually encoded to the hardware sensor. On most machines, the value is a 32 bit int, with the upper word being the degrees in C and the lower word the fractional part of the temperature.
On other machines the value may not even be a temperature, but just some seed for the fan, or needed to be read from the fan itself. In those cases the actual temp cannot be deduced by looking at this value without having the calibration data for the fan (in prom). As you can see this ends up being quite a bit of work it requires custom code for each of the machines or sensor types.'
I'm pretty much a n00b at computer science, and this confused me to no end, so I ended up asking metafilter for help, here:
http://ask.metafilter.com/mefi/25932
and the upshot seemed to be that (for temperature sensors) a more accurate value than (n/2^16) is (( n / 2^13 - n / 2^13 % 1 ) / 2^3) - .5).
I've made up a version of the script that uses that value at http://cutup.org/_2tp, but on my machine it seems to output the same value as before less .5 degrees.
I'm not sure if thats coincidence or if I still have this wrong, and I would appreciate any input on the matter.

CPU temperature and hardware sensor readouts in bash

The temperature widget I use shows a value that's 0.5 lower than your first script shows for me. Using the new script, the numbers are off by less than 0.2 on average (yours being a bit lower). Definitely well within good enough range for me.
Thanks for the script, it's nice to have a command line way of checking this.

Wonderful script 31d1, and after reading through the Ask Metafilter thread I see your confusion, though i don't completely understand it as i'm an even fresher n00b than you. Anywhen, my math skill are rather weak, and i was wondering if a Celsius to Fahrenheit conversion is a simple switch of the ' formula or something more complext in translating the output from hex etc? If it is, don't worry about it.. get the accuracy confusion out of the way first. That said, us Fahrenheit users would love an °F output. Anyone up for the challenge? I've dicking around with it bout as i said, my math is weak..

CPU temperature and hardware sensor readouts in bash

Hello,
I wrote a similar thing as a dashboard widget (http://www.smartsoft.com), and found that the problem is actually quite a bit more complex than expected.
The value in the registry is an encoded value. And the encoding/meaning of the values varies depending on the machine.
So for example, the correct reading for powerbooks goes like this: The value written in the registry is actually encoded to the hardware sensor. On most machines, the value is a 32 bit int, with the upper word being the degrees in C and the lower word the fractional part of the temperature.
On other machines the value may not even be a temperature, but just some seed for the fan, or needed to be read from the fan itself. In those cases the actual temp cannot be deduced by looking at this value without having the calibration data for the fan (in prom). As you can see this ends up being quite a bit of work it requires custom code for each of the machines or sensor type.

To check results, you might want to use this app:
http://bresink.de/osx/HardwareMonitor.html
as a reference.
The guy who wrote it has quite some experience and most probably got it right.

so far so good. what makes me a little bit concerned is the fact that the temperatures displayed never change even when i can clearly feel that the machine is getting hotter.. My impression is that the script only displays the tempeatures at startup - looks like the values in ioreg never get updated... It shouldn't be like this, should it?? Do i have to contact the customer service or what.
cheers

CPU temperature and hardware sensor readouts in bash

I ran this script (nice job) and got similar values to 'temperature monitor'. However, that app explicitly states that the values only represent the values at start up and don't change.
I looked at ioreg and noticed that the polling period for the temperature sensors is 18446744073709551615. if that's seconds, then it represents a little over half a trillion years.
Is anyone aware of a way to change these values so polling is more frequent?

After revising script on my iBook G4

was:

Mac App For Hard Drive And Cpu Temps Free

ioreg changed to: /usr/sbin/ioreg and named it sensors.sh

I created the script sensorChk.sh:
export hisensor=`/Users/me/sensors.sh sort tail -n1`
export hidigits=`echo $hisensor cut -c1-2`
if [ $hidigits -gt 50 ]; then
echo $hisensor
say 'Pardon me! , I'm hot, and I need a break!'
fi

Then added this to crontab:
* * * * * /Users/me/sensorChk.sh

This checks the sensors every minute.
