SIFT
The Mac cleaner that respects you

Your Mac says it's full. It's lying.

Stale caches, duplicate files, old downloads, and app leftovers can take space you need. SiftSpace finds them, shows you what each item is, and clears only what you approve. It also checks your Mac's security settings and scans selected locations for suspicious files.

Protection

A clean Mac is only half the job.

SiftSpace doesn't stop at storage. A full security console checks how exposed your Mac is, hunts for malware, and shows you exactly which apps can watch, listen and read your files. Read-only, on-device; your files and results never leave your Mac.

94/ 100
Strong
Disk encrypted Firewall on Review suspicious matches
Security checkup
FileVault, firewall, Gatekeeper, SIP, sharing and account hygiene, graded into one 0–100 score with one-tap jumps to the right setting.
Suspicious-file scan
Bundled YARA-X rules flag selected suspicious behaviours in launch points and selected locations. A match is a signal to review, never a malware verdict. Nothing is removed automatically.
Permission audit
Every app holding Camera, Microphone, Screen Recording, Accessibility or Full Disk Access, shown with its real icon, and unsigned apps flagged.
Vulnerability scan
Pending security updates, unsigned apps, risky setuid binaries and library-injection persistence, surfaced in plain language.
Startup & persistence
Audits launch agents and daemons, flagging orphaned or modifiable entries, the classic foothold for spyware.
One app, the whole job

Everything your Mac needs, in one place.

How it works

Scan. Review. Reclaim.

01

Scan

Choose the areas to scan. SiftSpace explains its coverage and sorts reclaimable items into clear categories.

02

Review

See exactly what turned up and why. Nothing risky is ever pre-selected. You decide what stays and what goes.

03

Reclaim

One click. Everything moves to the Trash, so every decision is reversible right up until you empty it.

Safe by design

Ruthless on clutter. Gentle with everything else.

Everything to Trash
Nothing is ever hard-deleted. Recover any item from Finder until you choose to empty the bin.
Two-step confirmation
Before anything moves you see exactly what and how much, then acknowledge what can't be recovered once the Trash is emptied.
App data is sacred
Docker images, VM disks, databases and AI models are never treated as junk. Deleting them would break your apps, so SiftSpace won't.
Your secrets, untouched
Keychains, Mail, Messages, SSH and cloud keys are walled off from cleanup, always.
Nothing risky pre-selected
The safe choice is the only default. You opt in to anything beyond it, every single time.
File data stays on your Mac
SiftSpace does not upload your files, file names, paths, or scan and cleanup results. See the privacy policy for optional account, update, and analytics data.
What we believe

We did not build another Mac cleaner. We built the one we actually wanted.

01

Storage you paid for is yours.

Not hostage to clutter you never chose to keep. Your disk should work for you, not against you.

02

Never gamble with someone's files.

Nothing risky is selected for you. The safe choice is the only default, every single time.

03

Your Mac is not a billboard.

No nag screens, no upsells, no fake "threats found" theatrics. It does its job and goes quiet.

04

Privacy is not a feature.

It's the baseline. File names, paths, and scan results stay on your Mac; optional analytics are limited and disclosed.

05

Fast is part of the product.

A clear scan should respect your time, show its coverage, and make its limits easy to understand.

06

Free should mean free.

Free for at least a year, then pocket money next to what the big names charge for the same thing.

Made for clear decisions

Your result should be yours, not a marketing promise.

SiftSpace shows the items and space on your Mac, lets you review the selection, and keeps cleanups recoverable in Finder Trash. We publish testimonials only with permission and source details.

Clear the clutter. Create space.

Review reclaimable storage and move selected items to Trash safely, for free.
