Broomy

Broomy is a lightweight utility for macOS that focuses on keeping a Mac tidy without taking control away from the user. It is built around a simple promise: nothing is deleted until you confirm it. The app presents cleanup candidates such as caches, logs, developer leftovers, and files abandoned by removed applications, explaining each item before anything moves.

Its feature set is split into clear sections. Clean Up shows how much space can be reclaimed, Uninstall removes an app together with its caches, settings, and data, and System covers CPU per core, memory, temperatures, and fans. Disk Health reports how much has been written to the SSD and estimated wear, while Devices handles brightness and volume for displays and gives a direct answer when a monitor cannot be adjusted.

Privacy is a core design choice rather than an add-on. Broomy contains no network code at all, so nothing is collected or sent anywhere, and external drives are never touched. Everything removed goes to the Trash first, allowing recovery until the Trash is emptied.

Broomy is aimed at Mac users who prefer cautious, transparent maintenance over aggressive optimization suites. It runs on macOS 14 or later with both Apple silicon and Intel Macs, and it is free with no ads. A sensible approach is to review each suggested item before confirming, and to use the monitoring pages to spot trends rather than chase every last byte.
