Pearcleaner - Free Mac App Cleaner user interface

Uninstalled an app but still finding its ghost haunting your Mac? Pearcleaner is here to banish those pesky leftovers for good—a free, source-available utility that takes app cleanup to the next level.

Drag an app to zap it, right-click in Finder for a quick goodbye, or let its Sentinel monitor sniff out trash in the background. Whether you’re a neat freak purging old apps, a dev clearing coding cruft, or just someone who hates clutter, Pearcleaner keeps your Mac lean with a sleek interface and zero cost. Open-source under a fair-code license, it’s your ticket to a spotless system—simple, thorough, and totally free.
