Broomkit vs. Filerev Comparison Chart

Broomkit is a native macOS disk cleaner and app uninstaller built for transparency and safety. It scans the home folder across 16 categories — app caches, package caches, dependency folders, simulators, logs, duplicates, and more — showing every file with its full path before removal. The free version includes a full disk scan, interactive Disk Map visualisation, large and old file finder, and path browsing — no account required. A one-time licence unlocks Reclaim and the App Uninstaller with residue cleanup. Safety is central: all removals go to Trash, inferred items start unchecked, and no admin password is requested. Leftovers are matched by exact bundle identifier to prevent accidental deletion. Developer machines are a focus, covering npm, pnpm, pip caches, Xcode DerivedData, simulators, and Docker data. Broomkit runs natively on macOS 14+ on Apple Silicon and Intel, is notarized by Apple, and requires no subscription.
