Safety Model

MacSweep uses a three-layer safety system:

  1. Protected Paths — system paths and sensitive data are hardcoded as untouchable (/System, ~/.ssh, ~/Library/Keychains, etc.)
  2. Directory-Only Protection — ~/Documents, ~/Desktop directories are preserved; only their cleanable children are flagged
  3. Allowed Clean Prefixes — only files under explicitly safe paths (~/Library/Caches, ~/Library/Logs, etc.) can be cleaned

Every operation is recorded in ~/Library/Logs/MacSweep/operations.log.

System Requirements

  • macOS 12 (Monterey) or later
  • Apple Silicon or Intel Mac
  • ~150 MB disk space
