Features

What can Neatwise do?

10 capabilities, each documented on its own page — what it does, when to use it, and which problems it resolves.

  • App Uninstaller

    Remove applications together with the support files they leave behind, instead of dragging the app to the Trash and leaving the rest.

  • Duplicate File Finder

    Locate repeated files, see the copies grouped together, and choose which one to keep rather than deleting by filename.

  • File Mover

    Move large files out of Downloads, Desktop and Documents to a destination you pick, with a confirmation step before anything leaves its folder.

  • Junk Cleaner

    Clear caches, logs and temporary files that build up over time, with a category breakdown before anything is removed.

  • Large File Finder

    Sort files by size and review the largest items on your Mac, instead of hunting through folders one at a time.

  • Login Items

    One list of everything that starts automatically, with the location it starts from, and a switch to disable each one.

  • Mac Cleaner

    Remove files that are safe to remove, with a review step before anything is deleted and a running total of the space freed.

  • Privacy Cleaner

    See what each browser on your Mac has stored about your browsing, by category, and clear the parts you want gone.

  • Similar Photos

    Find the photos that are almost the same picture, review each set side by side, and keep only the frame you actually want.

  • Storage Analyzer

    See what is using your Mac disk space, broken down by category and by folder, before deciding what to remove.

Common problems

Common Mac storage problems

Start from the situation you are in. Each problem page routes to the guide that resolves it and the feature that does the work.

  1. Mac storage is disorganized

    Files are scattered across Desktop, Documents and Downloads with no structure.

  2. Duplicate files

    The same photo, document or download exists in several places at once.

  3. Mac is running out of space

    Free space is shrinking every month and you are not sure why.

  4. Mac storage is full

    The startup disk has almost no free space left and macOS is warning you about it.

  5. Old files are taking up space

    Downloads, exports and one-off files from years ago are still on the disk.

  6. System Data is too large

    macOS reports a large "System Data" figure with no obvious explanation.

  7. Too many large files

    A small number of big files are consuming a disproportionate share of the disk.

  8. Unwanted applications

    Unused apps are still installed and still holding on to disk space.

Guides

Start with a guide

  • How to Clean Mac System Data

    To reduce System Data on a Mac, clear the parts that are removable — caches, logs and temporary files — remove support data belonging to applications you no longer use, and accept that the rest is macOS itself and cannot be cleared.

  • How to Clean Up a Mac

    To clean up a Mac, work in a fixed order: clear the accumulated folder, remove duplicates, uninstall unused applications with their support files, clear caches, then empty the Trash. Repeat it on a schedule so the disk stops filling up between cleanups.

  • How to Find Duplicate Files on Mac

    To find duplicate files on a Mac, compare file contents rather than filenames. Group the files that are genuinely identical, then keep one copy of each group and remove the rest — checking first that nothing references the copy you remove.

  • How to Find Large Files on Mac

    The easiest way to find large files on a Mac is to order files by size rather than browsing folders. Review the largest items from the top of the list and check what each one is before removing it.

  • How to Find Old Files on Mac

    To find old files on a Mac, sort folders by date modified or date created. Ordering by date turns a folder into a timeline, which makes the boundary between current and accumulated material obvious.
