Built exclusively for Mac
macOS doesn't have a built-in uninstaller. When you drag an app to Trash, it leaves behind preferences, caches, containers, and support files scattered across your system.
Trash doesn't clean up
macOS only removes the .app bundle. Preferences, caches, and support files stay behind forever.
Files hide everywhere
Apps scatter data across ~/Library, /Library, containers, launch agents, and more — all invisible in Finder.
Storage fills up fast
Leftover files from uninstalled apps can take up gigabytes, especially on smaller Mac SSDs.
Native macOS app
Built with SwiftUI, notarized by Apple. Designed for macOS 14+ with full dark mode and native performance.
What makes it different
Goes deeper than any other uninstaller on the market.
Deep File Scanning
Scans 15+ system locations — Application Support, Caches, Preferences, Containers, Launch Agents, Saved State, and more.
Homebrew Integration
Detects and cleanly uninstalls Homebrew casks and formulae. Runs brew uninstall before deep cleaning leftover files.
Install Source Detection
Identifies how each app was installed — Mac App Store, Homebrew, pkg installer, or direct download — with visual badges.
System Protection
Prevents accidental removal of critical system apps, MDM-managed apps, and macOS components. Safe by default.
Stale ID Detection
Finds files from apps that changed their bundle ID over time. Catches orphaned preferences other uninstallers miss.
Native macOS Design
Built with SwiftUI. Glass materials, smooth animations, dark mode support. Feels like it belongs on your Mac.
Works with everything
No matter how you installed it, App Uninstaller handles it.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before downloading.
Yes. App Uninstaller has built-in system protection that prevents removal of critical macOS system apps, Apple apps, and MDM-managed apps. It only targets files belonging to the specific app you choose to uninstall, and always shows you exactly what will be deleted before you confirm.
