Intelligent Dev Projects Sweeper
Finds and clears build leftovers across 8 ecosystems (Node, Rust, Swift, Python, Go, Java/Kotlin, C++) in one click.
Engineering & Build Performance
Get 60+ GB back from dead build caches — without killing anything you're running
Modern software engineering hoards disk space silently: Xcode DerivedData, abandoned node_modules across dozens of repos, Gradle caches, Rust target directories, and Docker storage layers.
Your servers stay up
Before it frees memory, DrMaco checks which processes are holding ports or terminal sessions — so your local server, Docker or running build is never the thing that dies.
Simulator & Homebrew Hygiene
Wipes stale iOS simulator runtimes via xcrun simctl and flushes gigabytes of outdated Homebrew formula bottles and cache tarballs.
Audio, Video & Design Workflows
Reclaim Gigabytes of Render Scratch Disks & Eliminate Audio Buffer Underruns
Video and audio production pushes macOS hardware to its absolute limits. Adobe media caches, Final Cut Pro optical flow files, and Logic Pro sound libraries consume hundreds of gigabytes, causing scratch disk errors.
Sound Library & DAW Sweeper
Inspects Logic Pro, GarageBand, and Ableton content, allowing selective pruning of unused Apple Loops and instrument packs (10–40 GB).
Graphics memory, live
Watch how much graphics memory your timeline is eating during an 8K export or a colour grade — and see the squeeze coming before the playhead starts stuttering.
Caffeinate & Display Sentry
Keep Awake stops the screen and the Mac from dozing off during an overnight render or a long export.
Local AI models
Manage Massive GGUF/Safetensors Models & Reclaim Chrome On-Device AI Space
Running local open-source LLMs like Llama 3, Mistral, and DeepSeek quickly exhausts internal SSDs. Meanwhile, modern browsers silently download gigabytes of on-device AI models and WebGPU caches.
Space Lens for AI Models
Dedicated interactive visualization for Ollama (~/.ollama/models), LM Studio, Hugging Face Hub, and PyTorch checkpoints.
Browser AI cache cleaner
Finds and wipes the hidden gigabytes Chrome and Edge keep for on-device AI models and graphics caches.
Unified Memory Compaction
Frees up memory right before you load a 70B model, so your Mac doesn't start swapping to disk halfway through.
Mac Longevity & Everyday Speed
Prevent Thermal Throttling, Prolong Battery Health, and Tame Greedy Background Tabs
You bought a Mac for quiet speed and a battery that lasts. DrMaco keeps it that way: it shows you what's heating things up, tames the greedy apps and looks after your battery's health.
80% Battery Charge Preservation
Monitors chemical wear, cycle count, and real-time charging wattage to maximize battery lifespan over years.
P-Core vs E-Core Load Matrix
See which cores are pinned and which are idle — then push a greedy background app onto the efficient cores so your fans stay quiet.
Hung App Detector & 1-Click Rescue
Detects unresponsive GUI loops and defunct zombie processes before the spinning beachball freezes your session.
Security & Corporate Compliance
Serious protection that never phones home
Most commercial cleaners report back to their maker all day long. DrMaco watches your Mac just as closely, but everything stays on your Mac — and we tell you, line by line, what it sends and when.
Real-Time Ransomware Sentinel
Stops a wave of files being encrypted or renamed en masse before your documents are locked away for good.
What comes back after a restart
Shows everything that quietly relaunches itself after a restart — and lets you switch off what shouldn't be there.
DoD 5220.22-M 7-Pass Shredder
Cryptographically obliterates sensitive financial or legal documents beyond physical laboratory recovery.
The Fundamental Problems We Solve
Why Macs get slow — and what DrMaco does about it
1. Memory that never gets handed back
macOS holds on to apps you closed minutes ago. Start something heavy and your Mac has to scramble — that's the half-second freeze you feel. DrMaco hands that memory back before it becomes a problem, and it doesn't even need your password to do it.
2. The Trash that frees nothing
You empty the Trash and get 0 MB back. That's because Time Machine quietly keeps copies of those files on your disk. DrMaco finds them, shows you how much they cost you, and clears them in one click.
3. The cleaner that is the problem
Paid cleaners install background services that run all day, write logs to your disk and occupy 250–320 MB — to save you space. DrMaco uses 15 MB and does literally nothing while it's closed.
4. Search and menus that quietly break
Spotlight stops finding files, “Open With” fills up with apps you deleted years ago, and something chews your battery in the background. DrMaco rebuilds all of it in one click.
Paid cleaners ignore build caches completely (node_modules, Xcode DerivedData, Cargo target, Gradle) and their memory purge happily kills your local server or Docker. DrMaco cleans exactly those folders and checks what's holding a port before it frees anything.
It asks macOS to hand back the memory that closed apps are still holding, and it does that before your Mac starts pushing data onto the disk — which is the moment everything gets slow. No password needed, nothing forced, nothing you're using gets closed.
No ads, no trackers, no analytics of any kind. Once a day it checks a small file on our server to see whether a newer version exists — nothing about you is sent. Diagnostic reports are made on your Mac and only leave it if you choose to send one.
No. DrMaco only touches caches and temporary files that macOS itself treats as disposable, plus the folders you approve. It never goes near protected system files, your documents or your app data.
