Tidlark for Mac

Tidlark is a Mac cleanup and maintenance app that finds caches, app leftovers, large files, old installers and other clutter, explains what each one is, and removes only what you pick. Everything goes to the Trash or Tidlark's Holding Area first, so you can change your mind.

Careful by design:

• You review first. Scans only look; nothing is removed until you've seen the list and confirmed it.
• Recoverable by default. Your files go to the Trash; system items go to the Holding Area for 30 days.
• Stays on your Mac. Scanning happens locally. No analytics, no telemetry, no account needed.
• Honest results. Every number is measured. If Tidlark couldn't check something, it says so instead of guessing.

What's inside:

• Checkup: one read-only pass over storage, a quick security check, maintenance, app updates, personal files and your Mac's health.
• System Junk: app and system caches and logs, old temporary files, broken login entries, old document revisions, mobile device backups, unused languages, Mail downloads and the Trash on every drive.
• Developer files and AI models: Xcode DerivedData, simulators, device support, package caches (SwiftPM, CocoaPods, Gradle, npm), and local AI models from Ollama, Hugging Face, LM Studio and others.
• Large files, duplicates (confirmed by full file contents) and similar photos (never touches your Photos library).
• Storage Map: a proportional map of any drive or folder, with an accessible list view.
• Uninstaller: removes an app with the files shown to belong to it by bundle ID, developer team, installer receipts and launch entries. Name-only matches are marked "unverified" and left unselected. Also finds leftovers of apps you already deleted.
• App Updates: checks apps against their own update feeds, Homebrew and the App Store; installs only after the signature and developer match.
• Login Items, Maintenance tasks, Threat Check (YARA-X engine with signed rules) and Privacy cleanup for Safari, Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc, Vivaldi and Firefox.
