Whatever's wrong, we've got you.

We've got you.One forgotten background app is usually the culprit — Macuum finds it.
Mac running slow?
We've got you.Macuum names the exact app hogging your Mac — quit it in one tap.
Storage full?
We've got you.Old junk piles up for years, invisibly. Macuum finds it and clears it safely.
MacBook overheating?
We've got you.Macuum tracks down the exact app that made your fan spin up.
This is what "fixed" looks like.
Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
Four simple screens. No settings maze, no confusing charts — just clear answers and a button to fix things.
Just ask "why is my Mac slow right now?"
No manuals, no forums, no guessing. Macuum's built-in AI reads your Mac and explains it like a friend would.
- Runs fully on your Mac — nothing is sent to the internet
- Free to use, no extra subscription or API key required
- Explains unfamiliar startup items before you decide to remove them
Your fan is spinning up because "Chrome Helper (Renderer)" has used 38% CPU for the past 20 minutes — most likely a busy or forgotten browser tab. Quitting it should cool things down and speed you back up.
See exactly what's slowing you down
A live list of what's using your CPU, memory and battery — with names you recognize, not cryptic process IDs.
- One click to quit, or force quit if it's stuck
- Every quit asks first — nothing closes by accident
- Ranks apps by real battery drain, not just CPU noise
Find the junk. See the size. Clean it safely.
Old caches, duplicate files, leftover app junk — Macuum shows you the size before anything gets deleted.
- Duplicate photo and file finder, side by side comparison
- Only touches known-safe, regenerable files — never your documents
- Bonus for developers: finds old Xcode and Docker leftovers too
Stop things you didn't know were launching
Every app that quietly starts itself when you turn on your Mac, flagged if it looks unused or unsigned.
- One click to turn an item off — nothing is deleted, just disabled
- Shows how much startup time each item is costing you
- Ask the AI what an unfamiliar item is before you touch it
Small app. Big list of things it quietly handles.
You'll probably only open Macuum when something's wrong — everything else happens automatically in the background.
Menu bar health dot
A simple green, yellow, or red dot in your menu bar, always visible, updated every minute.
"Why is this red?" explainer
One plain sentence at the top of the app tells you exactly what's wrong, no digging required.
Real battery drain ranking
Ranks apps by actual energy use, not just how busy they look, so you fix the real cause.
Duplicate file finder
Finds exact duplicate photos and files sitting in Downloads and Desktop, and merges them safely.
Fan & overheating alerts
When your Mac gets hot, Macuum tells you which app started it, not just that it's happening.
Plain-English alerts
A single notification when something needs attention — naming the exact app responsible.
Adjustable sensitivity
Prefer fewer or more alerts? Simple sliders let you decide when Macuum should speak up.
Snooze during heavy tasks
Exporting a video or running a big job? Mute alerts for a while with a single click.
Weekly check-up summary
A friendly weekly note: what was flagged, and how much space and battery you got back.
Nothing leaves your Mac. Ever.
No account, no cloud, no tracking
Macuum doesn't ask you to sign in and doesn't send your files or activity anywhere.
The AI runs on-device
Explanations come from Apple's on-device intelligence, built into your Mac. It's free and private by design.
No special access required
Macuum never needs admin passwords or "sudo" access to check your Mac's health.
Only asks for what it truly needs
Two permissions, both explained the first time they're needed:
- Notifications — so it can gently tell you when something needs attention.
- Reading your login items — so it can show you what launches at startup.
- It can only quit apps that belong to you — never system processes or other accounts.
- Cleaning only ever touches known, regenerable cache files — never your documents or photos.
Less than a coffee. Once a month.
No confusing tiers. One plan, everything included, try it risk-free first.
After your free week. Cancel any time, right from your phone or Mac.

- One-click Smart Clean & duplicate finder

Good to know
No. Macuum is built for people who just want their Mac to work well, not for tech experts. Every explanation is written in plain, everyday language, and every risky action asks you to confirm first.
No. It's a small, lightweight menu bar app that checks in about once a minute and then goes quiet. It's built to use less power than the problems it's watching for.
It's Apple's own built-in AI model that runs directly on your Mac's chip. Nothing about your Mac or your activity is sent to the internet.
You'll be billed $0.99 through your Apple ID, once a month, unless you cancel before the trial ends. Cancel any time in a couple of taps.
No. Cleaning only touches a fixed, known-safe list of regenerable cache files. It shows you the size before anything happens, and never touches your documents or photos.
Any Mac running macOS 13 or later. The on-device AI features work best on macOS 15.1 and later, on Apple silicon Macs.
