Download Cache Goblin free

A notarized, Developer ID-signed DMG. No payment, no account, no email: open it and scan. Scanning is free for good; cleaning is a one-time lifetime license from $29.

Signed & notarized
Yes. Developer ID, hardened runtime

Installing

  1. Open the downloaded DMG and drag Cache Goblin to Applications.
  2. Launch it from Applications. Gatekeeper confirms the notarization on its own.
  3. Cache Goblin lives in your menu bar. Click the goblin to see the first scan and how much is reclaimable.
  4. When you want to clean, press the green button: Cache Goblin asks for the lifetime license there.

Prefer the Mac App Store?

A sandboxed App Store build is planned at the same prices. It asks for folder access up front instead of running some cleanup commands directly, and updates through the App Store instead of in-app. This page will link to it once it's live.
