Kiwi Care for Mac
Kiwi Care finds caches, large files, duplicates and privacy traces across your disk. Scans are read-only, and nothing is removed until you review and confirm it.
Why Kiwi Care
A treemap or sunburst chart shows which folders fill your disk, with a file list right beside it.
Scans are read-only by default. You see the estimated space and exactly what will change first.
No account, telemetry, analytics or crash reporting. Scan results stay on your Mac.
Cleanup, uninstall, startup items, maintenance and live resource monitoring in one place.
Deep Cleanup
Kiwi Care checks system caches, app data, browsers, Xcode and developer tools, containers, project builds and local AI models — then groups everything by reclaimable space.
Large & duplicate files
Surface old installers, videos and archives without digging through folders. Duplicates are matched by content, not by name.
Privacy Cleanup
Browsing history, searches, downloads, sessions and cache — for every browser profile, plus app and system activity. Every item tells you its risk before you clear it.
Monitor
Live CPU, GPU, memory, disk and network activity, plus battery health and cycle count in the Monitor. The same readings sit in a compact menu bar panel, so checking in never needs the main window.
Disk Space Analysis
Switch between a treemap and a sunburst chart, choose how many levels to show and browse folders alongside the file list to find what takes up the most space.
More tools
Find rebuildable folders across your home folder, every local disk or folders you choose. Filter by ecosystem or by projects untouched for 30, 90 or 180 days. Source code, lockfiles and Git data stay untouched.
node_modulestarget.venvbuild outputPorts in Use lists local listeners with their process and working folder — and stops a verified process when a port is stuck.
Remove apps with their caches, settings and leftovers. Size, last use and whether an app needs admin rights or must be closed first are shown up front.
See everything that launches with your Mac. Turn off what slows startup, and turn it back on any time.
Rebuild Spotlight, refresh Quick Look and icon caches, restart Finder or audio, refresh DNS. One click each, no commands to type.
Every cleanup and uninstall, with planned versus recovered space and anything that was skipped.
Built-in, validated settings only. Each change is read back and high-impact items are called out.
Unsure about an item? Copy a ready-made prompt for the assistant you choose. Your home folder becomes ~ before copying.

Built with care
Kiwi Care puts data safety ahead of reclaiming more space. Every action is visible, reviewable and recorded.
Nothing changes until you review the selection and confirm.
Cleanup rules ship only after their safety boundaries are defined and tested on real systems.
System Optimization never runs terminal commands, scripts or arbitrary paths.
Cleanups, uninstalls and setting changes are saved to Operation History.
A Rust engine scans and cleans. A Tauri 2 shell brings a seamless macOS title bar and a menu bar panel.
The kiwicare CLI uses the same safety-first cleanup engine as the app.
Permanent deletion and uninstalling may not be reversible. Review your selection and keep backups of important data.
