Moosh

The Moosh Rulebook

The rules we won’t quietly change.

A plain-language promise about what Moosh is, what it scans, and what happens when you press Clean.

05

Promises kept simple

Five product promises

What Moosh believes.

If a future feature breaks one of these promises, it does not belong in Moosh.

01

Moosh cleans storage. That’s it.

No antivirus, VPN, RAM boosters, performance scores, or other stuff your Mac already handles perfectly well.

02

You see what gets deleted.

Moosh never hides 14 GB behind a mysterious “System Junk” number. Every result has a name, path, size, reason, and cleanup method.

03

Your files are yours.

Moosh is conservative about what it considers safe to clean. A scan is read-only, and your selection stays editable until you confirm.

04

No scare tactics.

Your Mac isn’t “in danger” because you haven’t run Moosh this week. Use it when you need space, then close it.

05

No subscription.

Scan for free. If Moosh earns your trust, pay once for one cleanup or a lifetime license, never a recurring bill.

Built-in scan areas

What Moosh scans today.

No catch-all junk bucket. Each area has a fixed boundary, a reason for appearing, and an explicit treatment.

Moves to Trash

For user-visible or ambiguous files. Moosh uses Finder’s recoverable path and never switches to permanent deletion if that fails.

Deletes permanently

Only for regenerable data inside a fixed, validated boundary. The exact item is rechecked immediately before removal.

Review first

For files where size or age is only a reason to look. Nothing in these groups is preselected for you.

Everyday Cleanup · On by default

App Caches

~/Library/Caches
Deletes permanently
What it finds

Top-level app cache folders using at least 1 MB.

Why this treatment

Caches are temporary data created to save apps time. Apps can recreate them, so keeping a second copy in Trash would only hold on to the space you meant to recover.

Good to know

Moosh stays inside the standard user cache boundary and rechecks the item’s path, identity, owner, type, and modification date immediately before cleanup. An app may open a little slower once while its cache is rebuilt.

Everyday Cleanup · On by default

Logs

~/Library/Logs
Moves to Trash
What it finds

Top-level diagnostic log folders using at least 1 MB.

Why this treatment

Logs record what apps have been doing. They are usually unnecessary for everyday use, but they can help with troubleshooting, so Moosh uses the recoverable path.

Good to know

Your apps can create fresh logs as needed. Moosh never empties Trash for you and never falls back to permanent deletion if moving an item fails.

Files & Downloads · On by default

Downloaded Installers

~/Downloads · .dmg, .pkg, .mpkg
Moves to Trash
What it finds

Recognized macOS disk images and installer packages in Downloads.

Why this treatment

Once an app is installed, its installer is normally no longer required. You may still want it again, so Moosh does not treat it as disposable beyond doubt.

Good to know

Archives and unrelated downloads are not silently grouped in. You see each installer and can deselect it before cleanup.

Files & Downloads · On by default

Large Files

~/Downloads or a folder you choose
Review first
What it finds

Files using at least 500 MB.

Why this treatment

Size is useful context, not evidence that a file is junk. Moosh points large files out and leaves the decision to you.

Good to know

Large files are never preselected. If you explicitly select one for cleanup, it moves to Trash.

Files & Downloads · On by default

Old Files

~/Downloads or a folder you choose
Review first
What it finds

Files older than 90 days and larger than 50 MB.

Why this treatment

Age can reveal forgotten files, but it cannot tell Moosh what matters to you. Old files stay a human decision.

Good to know

Old files are never preselected. If you explicitly select one for cleanup, it moves to Trash.

Developer Tools · Off by default

Xcode Derived Data

~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData
Deletes permanently
What it finds

Xcode build indexes and intermediate data using at least 1 MB per project folder.

Why this treatment

Derived Data is generated from source code and project settings. Xcode can rebuild it, and putting a duplicate in Trash would delay the storage recovery.

Good to know

This developer-specific scan is opt-in. The next build or index may take longer while Xcode regenerates what was removed.
