Your disk, as a folder you can read
Space fills in live as it scans. The heaviest folders swell, build junk looks stained, and the steamer clears what you pick. Icons or list, search, filter and sort.
For macOS Sequoia · Apple Silicon & Intel
Turn junk into
Turn junk into
thin air.
Vapour Cleaner shows what's eating your Mac's disk, marks what's safe to clear, and never touches what you can't get back.
What it does
Find the heavy stuff.
Clear the grime.
A fast scanner with a calm, native interface. No account, no tracking, nothing leaves your Mac.
One look before anything goes
Pick across tabs, then review everything together. Untick anything. It all goes to the Trash first.
Deep Clean, item by item
App caches, logs, Xcode data, package-manager caches and project build output. Every location opens to show exactly what's inside.
Biggest, forgotten, twins
The heaviest files, the ones nobody has opened in a year, and byte-for-byte duplicates, keeping the newest copy.
Knows what you can't get back
App data, mail, iCloud Drive, photo libraries, VMs, keys and git repositories are flagged in red and need your explicit OK.
Private by design
No account, no analytics, no network calls. Even the licence is checked offline.
Native and fast
Built in Swift for Apple Silicon and Intel. Opens folders with thousands of items without a stutter.
How it works
Scan. Review. Vapourise.
Scan
Pick your home folder, the whole disk, or any folder. Folders appear as they're found. Free.
Review
Tick what you don't need anywhere in the app, then see it all in one list with paths and sizes.
Vapourise
The steamer clears it into the Trash. Changed your mind? It's still there until you empty it.
Safety
It knows what
you can't get back.
Every file and folder is rated using Apple's guidance and long-standing Mac practice before you ever see a Vapourise button.
Safe
Caches, logs, Xcode DerivedData, node_modules and other build output, package-manager caches.
Rebuilt automaticallyLook first
Apple's own caches (left out of bulk cleaning), Xcode archives with crash symbols, installers.
Marked in amberCan't be rebuilt
App data, Mail and Messages, iCloud Drive, photo and music libraries, VMs, Docker data, keys, git repos.
Needs your explicit OKNever touched
macOS system folders, Keychains, ~/.ssh, ~/.gnupg, your home folder and its main folders.

Questions
Can it delete something important?
It's built not to. System folders, your keychains and keys, and your home folder's main folders are never removed. Anything holding data that can't be rebuilt is flagged in red and needs an explicit "I have a backup" confirmation. Everything goes to the Trash first unless you choose Vapourise Forever. Keep a Time Machine backup, as you always should.
Does it collect any data?
No. The app makes no network requests, and your licence is checked offline. See the privacy policy.
Why does it ask for Full Disk Access?
macOS hides some folders, like Mail or other apps' caches, unless you allow it. Without it Vapour Cleaner still works, but it can't see everything.
Which Macs does it run on?
Any Mac with macOS 15 Sequoia or later, Apple Silicon or Intel.
