# Cleer — full context for assistants > Cleer is a native macOS cleanup and optimization app. It finds reclaimable space, explains why items can go, previews every change, then waits for confirmation. ## Snapshot | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Product | Cleer for macOS | | Version | 2.1.0 (build 17) | | Price | $13.99 one-time | | Subscription | No | | License | One Mac activation per purchase | | OS | macOS 13 Ventura or later | | Architectures | Apple silicon and Intel | | Refund | 7 days | | Support | i@cleermac.com | | Publisher | Deepzero (https://deepzero.ai) | | Download | https://cleer-static.deepzero.ai/download/Cleer-2.1.0.dmg | | Site | https://cleermac.com | ## What Cleer is Find the caches, leftovers, and large files taking up space, see what each one is, and decide what goes. Since 2.0, every feature is a plugin, so you install only the ones you use. Cleer is not a terminal wrapper and does not rely on an opaque one-click clean button. Scanning and maintenance run locally inside the native app. Activation and update checks need a network connection. There is no separate account system beyond purchase email + license key. ## Who it is for Built for Mac users whose disks fill with downloads, media, and developer projects, and who refuse opaque cleanup buttons. ## How it works Every cleanup plugin follows the same calm sequence. ### Scan Choose a task and let Cleer inspect the relevant parts of your Mac locally. ### Review Read the result, open the details, and deselect anything you want to keep. ### Confirm Approve the final list only when it matches what you intended. ## Features ### Overview See load, memory, disk, and next steps in one place. CPU, memory, disk, power, network, and process status stay in one dashboard so you can start a safe check from here. - Health at a glance - Clear next steps - Calm starting point ### Smart Clean Preview once, then review, clean, and confirm. Caches, logs, browser leftovers, crash diagnostics, developer caches, and Trash share one preview first flow: suggested, needs review, or won't auto clean. - Preview before cleanup - Protection list - System files skipped ### Categories Review personal files by familiar macOS storage categories. Developer, creator caches, documents, music, mail attachments, photos, videos, and more. Applications stay in Uninstall Apps, and nothing is deleted automatically. - Familiar categories - Apps handled separately - Preview before cleanup ### Uninstall See leftovers before the app disappears. Inspect app bundles, containers, caches, support files, and user login agents. Sort by long unused. System services stay untouched by default. - Residue visible - Preview before removal - System services left alone ### Optimize Reset a few system caches, and know exactly which ones. Clear the DNS cache, reset QuickLook thumbnails, or restart the Dock when they misbehave. Each step names the command it runs. It won't speed up your Mac, and it doesn't delete your files. - Preview before action - No file deletion - No speed-up claims ### Storage Choose a location and find what uses the most space. Large files and heavy folders surface in one pass, so you can review reclaimable space without hunting through Finder. - Large-file focus - One place to review - Less Finder hunting ### Photo Cleanup Keep the best shot. Review the rest. Find similar shots, old screenshots, and possibly blurry photos in your Photos library or in folders you choose. Analysis runs on your Mac, and nothing is downloaded from iCloud. - The sharpest of each group stays - Old screenshots preselected - Library photos go to Recently Deleted ### Projects Find regenerable project artifacts, not your source trees. Cleer spots Node, Xcode, Python, Rust, Gradle, and more. Each rule explains source and rebuild notes. Source directories are never suggested by default. - Ecosystem aware rules - Rebuild notes included - Source trees protected ### Installers Find downloaded installers before they quietly eat space. Cleer scans common download locations and groups installer files into one review flow you can inspect before deleting. - Downloads in one view - Preview first - Easy to recover space ### Duplicates Find files with identical content. Same names alone do not count. Scanning reads files only and never changes them. Cleanup always moves extras to Trash, and each group keeps at least one copy by default. - Content-hash match - Keep at least one - Moves to Trash ### History Answer what filled the disk recently, with local only snapshots. Record snapshots on this Mac, see what grew the most, and review cleanup effect trends. Filenames and content never leave the machine. - Local snapshots only - Growth hotspots - Cleanup effect trends ### iCloud Manage cloud files, including items not downloaded to this Mac. Cleer lists cloud metadata in the folder you allow, including iCloud only files, without auto downloading. Deletion moves items to Trash and syncs across your Apple Account. - Metadata only scan - No forced download - Explicit folder access ### Settings Activation, language, safeguards, and updates in one place. Purchase email, license key, cleanup method, protection list, appearance, language, and update checks live in Settings. No separate account system. - One device activation - EN and ZH UI - In app updates ## Pricing and license - $13.99 single purchase includes future updates - One Mac activation per purchase - Instant license delivery on the success page and by email - Refund requests within 7 days via i@cleermac.com ## Privacy and safety defaults - Preview does not delete anything - System files are skipped by default - Cleanup confirmation is required - Space History keeps filename and content data on the Mac - iCloud Cleanup scans cloud metadata only and does not force downloads - Purchase email is used for license delivery and activation, not marketing ## FAQ ### How many Macs does one purchase cover? One purchase activates one Mac. If you reinstall Cleer or replace your Mac, open Settings and unbind the license, then bind it again on the Mac you want to use. ### What are Cleer Agent Tools? Agent Tools is a beta that adds the cleer CLI and a local MCP server. Install it from Settings. Terminals and clients like Cursor can scan and prepare cleanup plans. Applying a plan asks you first and only moves items to the Trash. ### Do plugins cost extra? No. Every plugin is built into Cleer and covered by the one purchase. Installing a plugin only turns it on; nothing is downloaded. ### What happens when I upgrade from 1.x? Every feature you used stays installed with its settings, and a one-time notice explains the Feature Market. Your cleanup history and license carry over. ### Will I see my license key immediately after paying? Yes. Right after checkout, the success page shows your license key and download link. The same details are also sent by email. ### Which email becomes my license email? Before Stripe opens, Cleer asks for your purchase email. That same email is prefilled at checkout and becomes the email tied to your license. ### Does Cleer delete files immediately? No. Preview does not delete anything. Cleer shows a readable list first, so you confirm only after you understand the change. ### Which versions of macOS are supported? Cleer supports macOS 13 Ventura or later on Apple silicon and Intel Macs. ### Is Cleer a subscription? No. The $13.99 purchase is a single payment and includes future updates. If you are not satisfied, you can request a refund within 7 days. ### Does cleanup run on my Mac? Yes. Scanning and maintenance run locally inside the native macOS app. Activation and update checks need a network connection. ## Official pages - Homepage: https://cleermac.com/ - Compare vs CleanMyMac: https://cleermac.com/compare - Product Markdown: https://cleermac.com/product.md - Release notes: https://cleermac.com/release-notes - Privacy: https://cleermac.com/privacy - Terms: https://cleermac.com/terms - Product JSON: https://cleermac.com/product.json - llms.txt: https://cleermac.com/llms.txt
