Pearcleaner is a free, source-available (under a "fair-code" license) macOS application cleaner. It’s inspired by tools like AppCleaner and aims to let users uninstall applications more completely, finding and removing leftover files, developer environment cache, launch agents/daemons, unneeded language files, and other app-related cruft. It also includes helpers for automation (CLI), drag-and-drop uninstalling, Finder integration, and background monitoring of trash for leftover items.

Features

  • Orphaned file search for finding remaining files from previously uninstalled apps
  • Strip unneeded architectures from universal apps (App Lipo) without needing Xcode tools installed
  • Management view for Launch Agents / Daemons and PKG installers
  • Prune unused translation (localization) files from app bundles, keeping only preferred language(s)
  • Optional background monitor ("Sentinel") to watch Trash folder and clean up after manual app deletion
  • CLI support, drag-and-drop uninstall, Finder extension for uninstall directly from Finder, theme system, export of app bundle lists etc.
