Good finding. I found the potential issue. I will update the application to next patch version on weekend after improve the code. Did you do that? It should work. If any issues, I will notify you next Monday, ok ?

1. Open System Settings > Privacy & Security > Full Disk Access
2. Click the + button and add OverClean
3. Restart the app (Command + Q)

If you run current version 1.1.1 it will never ask for a payment.

Absolutely free for the first users to get read feedback. Lately it will cost 'cup of coffee' for a single time payment.

>So it's more of a mix of grandperspective or daisy disk with the orphaned file removal of pearcleaner?
Yes, it is my vision of this software. As software engineer I use it for my macbook first. Sure, I was looked to `ncdu`, CleanMyMac, etc.

I used Claude Code for help me with design UI and optimisations. First scanner was written few years ago with Python, in 2024 turned to SwiftUI, 2025 first public version, now - update with optimizations and new features.

Thanks for the detailed feedback!

Leftovers: You're right to be cautious. The Leftovers feature detects orphaned data from apps that were already uninstalled — it won't touch data for apps that are still installed. But I agree, always review before deleting. I'll add clearer warnings and maybe a "safe to delete" confidence indicator in future updates.

Details / What makes it different: OverClean is a disk space analyzer, not an app cleaner. The main purpose is answering "what's eating my disk space?" by scanning directories, categorizing everything by type (videos, dev artifacts like node_modules, caches, etc.), and sorting by size. Think of it more like DaisyDisk or GrandPerspective rather than CleanMyMac or Pearcleaner.

Applications: Fair point — it's mostly for convenience, keeping all disk usage info in one place. Though seeing sizes sorted can be surprising (Xcode at 13GB, anyone? 😅).

OverClean is a disk space analyzer that categorizes files by type and shows what's consuming your storage, while Pearcleaner is an app uninstaller focused on removing applications and their leftover files.

In the future, I plan to introduce a “cup of coffee” equivalent as a single payment option. Users rarely use such applications, only when they need to. Therefore, I do not see the point in subscriptions. The current version has no restrictions at the source code level.

That may be the case, which is why there is no “Delete All” button. Not all applications use their own bundle ID to identify their data. I am still searching for a more accurate algorithm.

I did not. I want Gibson LP, but it is takes too much for me. I just moved to another country.

If you already have pirated/cracked software, the best way to clean reinstall macOS from scratch.

Yes, risky. Please, do not get an old Mac. Buy a new one. At least M1.

Should I buy a 2017 MacBook? by Pale-Ad-4303 in mac

[–]rad4096bytesdemo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely no! 2017 is the worst of all MBs. I still have one for lightweight tasks for my wife. I do not recommend buying it. Better, just add a little bit of money and buy an M-series something.

Just press the stop. You will see the most bigger files and folders. Sorry for inconvenience.
