# About Bytesweep — who makes it and how it works > Bytesweep makes local-first disk cleaning and system tools for Mac, Windows and iPhone: native apps, no account, no telemetry, one payment per computer and a 7-day undo for what it can put back. Canonical: https://bytesweep.app/about.html Last updated: 2026-11-11 ## About Bytesweep Made for people who keep running out of space. Updated 26 September 2026 **Bytesweep is a desktop app for macOS, Windows and Linux that finds what is filling your disk, removes it safely, and explains what your computer has been doing.** It combines a disk space analyzer, a junk and cache cleaner, a duplicate finder, an app uninstaller, a startup manager, an app updater, a system monitor and a file recovery tool in one window. What it cleans can be put back for seven days, apart from a few system commands that say so first. It works offline and sends nothing about your files anywhere. It is built for people who have run out of space and want to know *why* before they delete anything. Each module answers one plain question, such as “Where did my space go?”, “What runs automatically?” or “What's out of date?”, and shows its evidence. ### Who makes it Bytesweep is made by **Shajeen Ahamed**, an independent developer who writes the Mac, Windows and iPhone apps and the articles on the [Bytesweep blog](https://bytesweep.app/blog/index.html). Questions and corrections go to [support@bytesweep.app](mailto:support@bytesweep.app). ### How we build it Bytesweep is written separately for each system, in the language that system is built with: Swift and SwiftUI on the Mac, C# and.NET 8 on Windows. Both apps read one shared set of cleanup and safety rules, so the Windows app judges what is safe to delete exactly as the Mac app does. ### How we write The articles on the blog and the guides on this site are drafted with the help of AI tools. Before an article is published, every path, command and figure in it is checked against the documentation from Apple, Microsoft or the maker of the tool it describes, and a person reads and approves it. An article that has not been checked is not published. The pages in other languages are translated from the English with AI, then checked by the site’s own tools for missing or broken text. If something is wrong, or reads badly in your language, write to [support@bytesweep.app](mailto:support@bytesweep.app) and it will be corrected. ### How it is sold Purchases are processed by **Dodo Payments** as merchant of record. There is no account and no subscription: one payment per computer, a licence key by email, and a 14-day money-back guarantee. **At a glance** | Mac | Bytesweep 3.3, native Swift, macOS 14 or later | | --- | --- | | Windows | Bytesweep 3, native C# and .NET 8, on the Microsoft Store | | iPhone and Android | Bytesweep: Clean & Transfer, a separate app on the App Store and Google Play | | Linux | ByteSweep 3.3, .deb, .rpm and AppImage | | Languages | The app speaks fourteen languages | | Contact | [support@bytesweep.app](mailto:support@bytesweep.app) | ### What we hold ourselves to #### No telemetry No analytics, no crash upload, no usage counts.
