MacCleanse securely scans your system for activity and erases the desired information.
Whether you've been gift shopping online, discussing confidential business matters, visiting inappropriate web sites, or just want to clean out your system, MacCleanse is your savior. Unlike some other privacy protection tools which go through your system with brute force, MacCleanse has been thoroughly tested and only removes the necessary files, and reports all errors.
MacCleanse also contains enhanced features for specific applications like Acquisition, Adium, AIM, aMSN, Azureus, Bit Torrent, Colloquy, FireFox 2 & 3, iCab, iChat, ICQ, Internet Explorer, Mozilla, MPlayer, MSN Messenger, Netscape, OmniWeb, Opera, Preview, QuickTime, Safari, Skype, Transmission, Unison, Xtorrent, and Yahoo Messenger. These enhanced features allow you to pick and choose what exactly to remove from the application - be it only auto-fill values from Safari or the recent download history in Xtorrent.

Is it just me or does this update smell like borrowed features ;-) (Version 1.1.3) | |

SWO I use this app regularly, though it is powerful and requires a bit of understanding of it's functions (which is why if I don't understand something, I leave it alone till I do or am feeling adventurous). Some of my concerns seem to have been address in this update, though I can't stand to look at the Mac Cleanse icon. Does anyone know if there are any alternative icons out there? It doesn't have to be for Mac Cleanse, per se, it just has to fit the app's purpose. (Version 1.1.3) | |

LEEJANDSUE i've sent a couple of emails to the software developer regarding issues with using this program in leopard. it has been at least 3 business days, with no reply so far. basically the program locks up when i try to securely erase an item, and have to restart. i could not find any documentation with step by step instructions on how to use this program. maybe they will get back to me sometime after the holidays. (Version 1.1) | |

MACUPDATE ADMIN From the developer's site, main page: Monday, December 17th, 2007 Our staff will be on Christmas break from Monday, December 17 through Monday, January 7. Sales are automatically processed, and therefore license codes will still be sent out. Also, technical support during this period will be handled on a low-priority schedule. All other services have been temporarily suspended until we return to work full time after the break." (Version 1.1) | |

SETTANI I have to apologize to the developer. I found out that I didn't have some software install properly and that was the reason I was having problems. I reinstalled the software and Mac Cleanse works perfectly and it is a really wonderful piece of software Try it and you'll Buy it. Thanks again for all you hard work on the software. (Version 1.0.8) | |

LEEJANDSUE what did you do different in leopard to get mac cleanse to run? | |
 | Nov 8 2007 |
SETTANI I have not been able to use this software running MOS X version 10.5 It continually crashes when you select all options to clean. I've contacted the developer twice and 1.0.8 was the response but it still crashes. Wait until a update is release before you download this to run if you have 10.5 (Version 1.0.8) | |

MACNEWS Very nicely done. I would, however, like to see the app, while idle, be reduced to using zero cpu cycles. (Version 1.0.7) | |

PERSON1229 It's a REALBasic application, this will never happen and is impossible for any REALBasic made application. (Version 1.0.8) | |

T7 Mac Cleanse is a very effective system cleaner as it is now, but it can be way more powerful. Absolutely worth 5 stars when it not only cleanses regular Finder/System stuff but Path Finder/System stuff as well. It should also gain scriptability features and a daemon mode so it can do its cleansing business at three in the morning, or before every system restart. Plus: Mac Cleanse should let you add folder/files of your own choosing. (Version 1.0.3) | |

REALMAC17 Mac Cleanse is an impressive product which excels at what it does. At only $20 and with dozens of features, Mac Cleanse makes it easy to maintain OS X easily without any hassle whatsoever. What makes Mac Cleanse unique is that you can remove histories and logs from lots of different applications from Acquisition to iTunes to VLC. It also handles all the popular web browsers for clearing history and cache. I really liked the interface and the developer is very responsive and polite. 5/5! (Version 1.0.1) | |
