01Unified Architecture

Five Core Routines. One 1-Click Smart Care.

Paid cleaners split the job into separate modules and charge a subscription. DrMaco puts deep cleaning, protection, live insights, app tidying and disk decluttering into one smooth flow — and keeps it free.

Routine 01 · Deep Cleaning

Free up space for things you truly need

Sweeps 14+ system junk categories, uncovers hidden browser AI caches (Chrome 4+ GB), and vacuums heavy media from Telegram, Discord, and Slack.

Explore Cleaning
Routine 02 · Protection

Neutralize threats before harm occurs

Round-the-clock watch for ransomware, a hunt for software that keeps reinstalling itself, a cleanup of permissions apps no longer need, and an alert the moment anything reaches for your camera or microphone.

Explore Guard Ultra
Routine 03 · Apple Silicon Performance

Make your Mac lightning-fast & responsive

See which cores are working and which are resting, how much memory is being squeezed, how much graphics memory a render is eating, and force-quit anything that has frozen — or wake sluggish apps back up without closing them.

Explore Performance
Routine 04 · App Lifecycle

Uninstall apps without leaving a trace

Safe background process termination, orphaned leftover hunting across ~/Library, complete Factory App Reset, and unused .lproj language stripping.

Explore Apps Suite
Routine 05 · Space Lens & Clutter

Take visual control of your storage

An interactive sunburst map of your whole disk, a dedicated zone for local AI models (Ollama, LM Studio), an exact duplicate finder, and a 7-pass shredder for anything that must never come back.

02How it works

Three steps. Then it runs itself.

Set it up once and DrMaco stays out of your way.

01

Install

One Homebrew command, or grab the installer directly. No account, no sign-up, nothing to configure first.

02

Authorise once

Confirm once with your password. From then on it can do exactly two things — and nothing else.

03

Forget it

Set a free-RAM threshold and DrMaco handles the rest, posting a notification whenever it acts.

DrMaco stands guard — against everything

Trojans, spyware, adware, rogue profiles, malicious extensions, persistent malware — one local engine watches for all of it, all the time.

Running · last pass 2 min ago

Real-Time Ransomware Sentinel

Spots a burst of files being encrypted or mass-renamed the moment it starts — and stops ransomware before your photos and documents are locked away.

Permissions you forgot about

Audits Camera, Mic, Accessibility, and Full Disk Access permissions. Flags apps unlaunched for months and lets you revoke their privileges in one click.

Hardware Spy & Eavesdropping Auditor

Alerts you the moment a background process starts listening to your microphone, watching through your webcam or reading your keystrokes.

Startup item hunter

Uncovers the sneaky ways software relaunches itself every time you start your Mac — hidden startup items, background scripts and scheduled jobs.

USB Mount Ingress Sentry

Automatically checks every USB stick, external drive and disk image you plug in for hidden nasties before you open a single file.

Security check-up

Runs through the settings that actually keep a Mac safe — disk encryption, download protection, system protection — and tells you plainly what to switch on.

Antivirus. Anti-spyware. Anti-malware. All local, all included, always free.

Advanced Threat Protection

Built to catch the techniques behind Pegasus, Predator & other spyware

Guard Sentinel audits your Mac for the exact persistence and surveillance techniques used in real-world spyware and stalkerware campaigns — hidden LaunchAgents, injected code, and unauthorized camera or microphone access — so nothing can quietly watch you without leaving a trace.

Hidden persistence detection

Finds the LaunchAgents, LaunchDaemons, login items and cron jobs spyware relies on to survive a reboot and reinstall itself.

Camera & microphone watchdog

Flags background processes secretly accessing your camera or microphone the moment it happens — not after the fact.

Code injection & tampering checks

Catches injected dynamic libraries and binaries with invalid, missing or forged code signatures.

If you believe you're specifically targeted by state-sponsored spyware, also enable Apple's Lockdown Mode and reach out to a specialist resource such as Access Now's Digital Security Helpline.

06Under the hood

It sees what other cleaners miss.

Memory, disk, chip load and Wi-Fi quality — read straight from macOS itself, in real time, and shown in one small menu bar app.

Apple Silicon & Unified Memory

See exactly what your Mac is doing — no guesswork

Monitor asymmetric Performance and Efficiency cores, inspect Unified Memory GPU consumption via IOAccelerator, and track real-time hardware RAM compression ratios without launching Terminal.

  • Which cores are working hard and which are idling, right now
  • How much memory is being squeezed instead of slowing you down
  • Your builds, servers and renders never get killed by accident

Space Lens 2.0 & Dev Suite

Find the hidden gigabytes CleanMyMac misses

Traditional cleaners ignore heavy developer caches and local AI models. Space Lens 2.0 visualizes your storage and zeroes in on Ollama weights, LM Studio models, and forgotten node_modules.

  • Dedicated AI Models zone: Ollama, LM Studio, Hugging Face, Whisper
  • Dev Projects Sweeper: node_modules, DerivedData, .venv, target, gradle

Clipboard history

Copy twice. A history bar appears.

No hotkey to learn — copy the same way you always do, just twice within a second, and a frosted card bar slides up above the Dock. Click a card to paste it again, hover to keep it open, pin it so it stays.

  • Up to 50 entries, stored locally, never uploaded
  • Skips anything your password manager marks as concealed
  • Off by default — one toggle in Settings turns it on

Real-time protection

Scanning quietly, the whole time you work

A lightweight scan runs in the background, checking new downloads, browser extensions and startup items against a local threat database the moment they appear. No cloud lookups — nothing ever leaves your Mac.

  • Every new download and login item checked automatically
  • Threat database ships and updates with the app itself
  • Zero network calls — detection runs entirely on-device

07Menu Bar Companion

Always in view. Never in the way.

Instead of installing heavy background services like the big commercial cleaners, DrMaco lives quietly in your menu bar. Instant numbers, a Cmd+K launcher for everything, and a floating clipboard history — and nothing at all happening while it's closed.

0% Idle CPU Overhead

Closed means closed: no checks, no writes, no processor time. About 15 MB of memory, against the 250+ MB the big cleaners keep occupied.

Raycast-Grade Cmd+K

Trigger any maintenance routine, network diagnostic, or disk inspection in a fraction of a second with an instant keyboard command palette.

Double-Copy Clipboard Bar

Copy twice within a second, and a sleek frosted card bar appears above your Dock. Skips password managers automatically.

Keep Awake & Caffeinate

Prevent your Mac from sleeping during long downloads or renders with 1h, 2h, or indefinite timers and a dynamic coffee cup in the menu bar.

Principles

Rules we don't break

How the project stays worth trusting.

01

Least privilege

Every admin prompt names the exact job it's for. Never a blank cheque over your Mac.

02

No tracking

No analytics, no phone-home. Threat scanning runs on-device — the app talks to no server of ours.

03

Light as a feather

About 8 MB installed and roughly 15 MB of memory in use. It stays out of your way and out of your battery.

04

Actively maintained

New features and fixes ship regularly — see the full history in the changelog.

09Privacy

What it does — and never does

The whole contract, in plain terms — every permission it asks for, and why.

What it does

  • Runs Apple's own maintenance commands on request
  • Reads system metrics locally to draw the dashboard
  • Moves files you select to the Trash, never a hard delete
  • Notifies you every time auto-purge fires
  • Checks files and login items against a local threat database

What it never does

  • Collect analytics, usage data or crash reports
  • Contact any server operated by us
  • Ask for blanket “do anything” permission on your Mac
  • Bundle ads, upsells or a paid tier
  • Upload a single scanned file or its hash to any server

Every elevated call is narrow and named — purgeMemory, reindexVolume. Never an arbitrary shell command, and never broader than the one task it's built for.

Notarization requires a paid Apple Developer membership this project doesn't use yet. Right-click → Open once and macOS remembers your choice.

Every feature is unlocked for 7 days, free, no card required. After that it's $4.99/month for one Mac, or $49.99/year — no hidden tiers, no bait and switch.

No. Scanning happens entirely on your Mac. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is sent to a server of ours — because there is no server of ours to send it to.

Trojans disguised as installers, spyware and keyloggers, adware and browser hijackers, fake configuration profiles, malicious browser extensions, and the kind of malware that keeps reinstalling itself after you delete it. The Protection section above breaks it all down.

DrMaco covers the threats Mac owners actually run into — trojans, spyware, adware, fake profiles, malicious extensions and malware that keeps coming back — and it does it without sending anything anywhere. It isn't a corporate antivirus suite with cloud lookups, but for everyday Mac threats it stands guard around the clock.

CleanMyMac keeps heavy services running in the background (250+ MB of memory) and charges you every year. DrMaco is about 8 MB, uses roughly 15 MB of memory, and does nothing at all when it's closed — try it free for 7 days, then $4.99/month. It also finds the space hogs paid tools skip — AI models, build caches, hidden Time Machine snapshots — and guards against ransomware, which most paid cleaners simply don't do.

It never reads your files. macOS itself already announces when files change, and DrMaco simply listens. When it notices an unnatural burst — hundreds of files being rewritten or renamed in seconds — it warns you instantly. That's why it costs practically no processor time.

Your Mac squeezes memory it isn't using right now instead of dumping it onto the disk, which would slow everything down. DrMaco shows you how well that's working — for example 8.5× — and how many gigabytes it's saving you at this moment. It's the clearest early warning that your Mac is running out of breath, and no other menu bar app shows it.

Yes. DrMaco Dev Projects Sweeper and Space Lens 2.0 clearly separate rebuildable caches (DerivedData, node_modules, .venv, target/) and heavy AI weights (Ollama, LM Studio, Hugging Face) with safe confirmation dialogues. They never touch source code, git histories, or active virtual environments.

Ponieważ pobierasz DrMaco bezpośrednio ze strony (poza Mac App Store), system macOS wyświetla standardowe ostrzeżenie. Wystarczy kliknąć aplikację prawym przyciskiem myszy (Control + Klik) i wybrać Otwórz, lub wejść w Ustawienia systemowe → Prywatność i ochrona i kliknąć „Otwórz mimo to”. System zapamięta Twoją zgodę na zawsze.

The app runs with every Pro feature unlocked for 7 days from first launch — no registration, no card. After that, sign in to the customer portal and pick monthly ($4.99/mo) or yearly ($49.99/yr, 2 months free). Your license is tied to your Mac's hardware ID and you can move it to another Mac anytime.
