- Fast File Inspection: Right-click or select any file to reveal in Finder or send to CleanOrbit Shredder.
Reclaim 50+ GB with Developer Bloat Filters
Software development generates enormous temporary build artifacts, package dependencies, and container images that macOS never cleans automatically. CleanOrbit features dedicated filters designed specifically for developers.

node_modulesand npm/yarn caches. - Xcode & iOS Development: Clear DerivedData, obsolete device simulators, and old build archives.

~/Library/Application Support,Caches, andContainersfor orphaned app data. - Batch Uninstall: Select multiple unused applications and safely remove them in one click.

What is "System Data" on Mac and Why is it so Large?
macOS categorizes everything that isn't an app, document, or photo as System Data (or "Other Storage"). This includes Xcode derived data, iOS backups, application caches, browser data, and orphaned library files. CleanOrbit gives you complete transparency into this directory, letting you safely eliminate multi-gigabyte files that Apple's default storage tool hides.
Why CleanOrbit is the Best Alternative to Bloated Cleaners
Many traditional Mac cleaner utilities install permanent background daemons, send user data to remote servers, or charge expensive recurring subscriptions. CleanOrbit is built differently: 100% native, Apple Notarized, runs completely offline on your Mac, and provides pro developer features without nagging popups.
