BoldPearcleaner is a free, source-available and fair-code licensed macOS app cleaner inspired by Freemacsoft's AppCleaner. It provides a comprehensive set of tools for cleaning and managing your Mac.
Key features include app uninstallation with orphaned file search, development environment manager, file search, Homebrew integration, PKG manager, plugin manager, and services manager. The app includes a Sentinel Monitor that runs in the background (~2MB RAM) to automatically clean up when apps are moved to trash. It also offers utilities to prune unused app translations and strip unneeded architectures from universal apps.
