What OverClean is
OverClean is a macOS disk space analyzer that scans files, folders, and apps, then organizes its findings into 26 categories on an interactive dashboard. Scan progress appears in real time, and the dashboard provides category views, charts, application sizes, and file type breakdowns. The Applications Manager lists installed apps with their bundle sizes and supports sorting and searching. Leftovers Detection checks Application Support, Caches, Preferences, and Logs for data left after apps are removed. It can also identify development files associated with Xcode, Simulator, Git, Node.js, Python, and Docker. Cleanup remains under the user's control: OverClean does not delete files automatically, and confirmed removals go through macOS Trash. Scans run locally, with scanned file data kept off the maker's servers. License activation sends a license key and hashed hardware identifier to a server. Scanning works offline; an activated license can work offline for up to 14 days between checks. OverClean offers a free plan and a paid license for 3 Macs. The maker is based in Frigiliana, Málaga, Spain.
Who it suits
OverClean suits Mac users who want to see which file categories and installed apps occupy disk space, especially developers managing Xcode, Simulator, Git, Node.js, Python, or Docker files. Its user-confirmed cleanup and macOS Trash route suit people who want to review removals before they happen.
