Pearcleaner is an open-source Mac utility that uninstalls apps, removes leftover files and manages development and plugin environments. The maintainer is currently busy with full-time work and a new SaaS startup but welcomes PRs and plans to resume issue triage and feature work when time allows.
- Pearcleaner development is stalled because the maintainer took a full-time job at a friend's SaaS startup, but he'll resume issue triage when time allows.
- It's a free, source-available Mac cleaner (Apache 2.0 + Commons Clause) offering orphaned file detection, CLI/drag-and-drop uninstalls, Homebrew/PKG support, and a Sentinel Monitor that uses only ~2MB RAM.
- The Commons Clause license bars any commercial monetization of the app or derivatives.
- Requires macOS 13 (Ventura) or newer, installable via GitHub releases or `brew install --cask pearcleaner`.
