What is CleanMyMac?

What CleanMyMac does

CleanMyMac is MacPaw's utility for clearing junk files, uninstalling apps cleanly and running routine maintenance. It is for Mac owners who want one tidy dashboard instead of hunting through Library folders. It is not essential: macOS manages storage on its own and most cleanup can be done by hand.

What it costs

MacPaw's product page says 'starting at $3.33/month' but does not say whether that is billed annually, and it does not list the plan table. We could not confirm full plan prices from the page, so check the store for the exact plan before buying. A free trial is offered; its length is not stated on the page. The app needs macOS 11 or later and 320 MB of free space.

The Black Friday pattern

MacPaw has run a short Black Friday weekend sale in both of the last two years. In 2024 reports place it from 29 November to 1 December at about 30% off single-Mac licences, with deeper cuts reported on multi-Mac plans. In 2025 it was 30% off Basic and Plus from 28 November to 1 December. No coupon was needed in 2025; the discount came through MacPaw's own sale link.

That consistency suggests waiting for the weekend if you are not in a hurry. If your disk is full today, the saving on a $3.33-a-month product is small enough that buying now is also fine.

Do you need it, or Setapp?

CleanMyMac is also bundled in Setapp, the Mac app subscription. If you already pay for Setapp, skip the separate licence. If you only want this one app, buy it directly during the sale.

Decision rule: run the free trial first. If the scan finds gigabytes you actually want back, buy on the Black Friday weekend. If it finds little, you did not need it.
