# RefreshYourMac

> RefreshYourMac is a Mac cleaner for when the disk is full and you don't know what is safe to delete. Scanning deletes nothing: it measures what is filling the disk, shows which app or tool left each item, and rates every category Safe to Remove, Review, Move to Backup or Protected before anything can be cleaned. A licence is $24.99 once, $14.99 a year with the first 7 days free, or $1.99 a month. There is no account and no telemetry. Made in Ireland by Caddora. Requires macOS 15 or later.

The pages below explain how it decides what is safe, and cover the Mac storage questions people search for. They are written to be quoted.
