Your Mac, explained.

Bytesweep finds what is taking space on a Mac or Windows PC and removes it safely, with a 7-day undo. It also monitors CPU, memory and battery, manages startup items, updates your apps, shows which apps can use your camera and microphone, finds duplicates, uninstalls apps with their leftovers and recovers deleted files from USB sticks and SD cards.

You can try it free for 3 days: every scan, every analysis and every verdict. Cleaning, deleting and uninstalling need a licence from the start, and after the trial every page does: a one-time payment of $5 per computer. The iPhone app, Bytesweep Phone Cleaner, is a separate app: free to download and scan, with a one-time purchase to clean.

Yes. Every item passes through one set of safety rules that rate it safe, review first or keep. Only safe items are pre-selected, system folders and your personal folders are never touched by a rule, and every cleanup goes to a restore point you can undo for seven days.

Coming soon. Bytesweep for Windows is a native app for Windows 10 and 11 (64-bit), written in C# and .NET 8. It installs per user without administrator rights and asks for elevation only for the few tools that need it.

Bytesweep 2.0 is a universal app: it runs on Macs with Apple silicon and on Intel Macs, with macOS 14 Sonoma or later. On macOS 13 or older, use Bytesweep 1.x.

Yes. Bytesweep Phone Cleaner finds duplicate and similar photos, large videos, screenshots and duplicate contacts on an iPhone, entirely on the device. It is free to download and scan; cleaning is a one-time in-app purchase, separate from the desktop licence.

Yes, Bytesweep 1.x runs on Linux as an AppImage or .deb package, with the storage analyzer, cleanup for apt, dnf, pacman, snap, Flatpak and Docker, and the same 7-day undo.

Yes. Choose how many in the pricing section: each licence costs the same $5, activates one computer, and comes with its own key. All the keys are shown right after payment and emailed to you.

No. It is one payment of $5 per computer, Mac or Windows. There is no renewal.

No account. Everything except licence activation and the Updates module works offline. You receive a licence key by email and paste it into the app.

No. There is no telemetry and no Bytesweep server. File names, sizes and history stay in a database on your own disk. Licence activation contacts Dodo Payments, our payment provider. The Updates module contacts only the update sources you switch on, and names each host before it does.

Often, from USB sticks, SD cards, external drives and disk images, including formatted drives and lost partitions. On Windows it also restores from the Recycle Bin and NTFS drives. It cannot recover fragmented or overwritten files, or files deleted from a Mac's internal SSD, and it tells you which case you are in.

No. It reports the status of the protections built into macOS and Windows, such as Microsoft Defender and the firewall, and links to where you change them. It does not scan for malware.

Bytesweep is a one-time payment rather than a subscription, runs on both Mac and Windows with one licence, keeps a 7-day undo for every cleanup, and names what you would lose before you delete it. It also covers things those apps do not, such as sleep and wake history on Mac and developer caches. See the full comparison.

During the 3-day trial, everything that only looks: scan any disk, browse every analysis and verdict, monitor your computer, review startup items, check for updates and scan for deleted files. Cleaning, deleting, uninstalling, shredding and recovering files need a licence. After the trial, Bytesweep needs a licence to open, apart from its settings. Undo always works, with or without one.
