Reclaim disk
space. Safely.
A native menu-bar junk cleaner for macOS. Scans 9 categories in seconds, moves to Trash by default so every clean is undoable, and runs itself on Auto-Pilot. Built in Swift with a Liquid Glass UI.

See it in action.
Trasher lives in your menu bar. Click the icon, scan, and clean — the whole flow is one popover.
Live size ring + per-category breakdown
Everything you need.
A complete cleaning toolkit with native macOS integration, built from the ground up in Swift.
Smart Scan
A multi-threaded scan engine sweeps 9 categories in seconds, streaming results live so you see space pile up as it goes — no main-thread freeze.
Auto-Pilot
Set it and forget it. Trasher cleans on a schedule — daily, weekly or monthly — or the moment junk crosses a disk-space threshold you choose.
Safe by Default
Files move to Trash first, so every clean is undoable. Prefer a hard wipe? Secure-delete mode is one toggle away — your call, never ours.
Liquid Glass UI
A native menu-bar popover built with the macOS Tahoe design language — translucent glass panels, a live size ring, and a per-category breakdown that feels right at home on your desktop.
Custom Rules
Build your own cleaning rules from file extensions, folders and file age. Target exactly the junk you care about and leave everything else untouched.
Scheduling
Daily, weekly or monthly background scans with native notifications.
Auto-Updates
Built-in Sparkle updater keeps you on the latest build, signed and verified.
Launch at Login
Auto-start via macOS Service Management. One toggle in settings.
Confirm Before Clean
Optional confirmation dialog before anything is removed. On by default.
9 categories. One scan.
Trasher knows exactly where macOS hides reclaimable space — and shows you each pile before you touch it.

App & system cache files that pile up silently

Safe by design.
Cleaning a Mac shouldn't feel like a gamble. Trasher gives you visibility, reversibility and control at every step.
Trash-First Cleaning
By default nothing is destroyed — files move to the Trash, so a misclick is one Cmd-Z away. Secure delete is opt-in, never the default.
See Before You Clean
Every scan shows a per-category breakdown with exact sizes. You pick what goes — Trasher never decides for you.
Protected Paths & Whitelist
Critical system locations are off-limits, and anything you whitelist stays whitelisted across every future scan.
Confirm on Demand
Keep the confirmation dialog on for a final check before each clean, or switch it off once you trust the flow.
