BuhoCleaner 1.16.3

BuhoCleaner is a Mac cleaning and maintenance app developed by Dr.Buho Inc., a small software company that launched the app in November 2020 to fill a gap between bloated all-in-one cleaning suites and having no dedicated tool at all. Distributed as a direct, Apple-notarized download from the official drbuho.com website rather than through the Mac App Store (since App Store sandboxing rules prevent cleaning apps from accessing the folders they need to do their job), BuhoCleaner is optimized for macOS Tahoe and Apple M1 through M5 Macs. Version 1.16.3 continues the app's active update cycle, building on recent releases that expanded its cleaning modules and macOS System Data detection. What sets BuhoCleaner apart from more sprawling "system suite" competitors is its deliberately narrow focus: it handles disk space cleanup, app uninstallation, and general Mac performance tuning — full stop, with no VPN, privacy scanner, or unrelated upsells bundled in. Its Flash Clean feature scans for junk files, application and browser caches, unused DMG files, logs, and Trash contents in one pass, letting users review exactly what will be removed before confirming. Beyond basic cleaning, recent versions have added a Purgeable Space Cleaner for hidden caches, Screen Capture Cleanup for old screenshots and recordings, Mail Attachments Cleanup, and a Downloads Folder Organizer, alongside longstanding tools like a Duplicate File Remover, Xcode cache cleaner for developers, a file shredder, a startup item manager, and a real-time menu bar hardware monitor. Since launch, BuhoCleaner has been downloaded more than a million times across 180-plus countries and holds a 4.8 out of 5 rating on Trustpilot, sold as a one-time license rather than a subscription.

Open the downloaded disk image and drag the app into your Applications folder. Launch BuhoCleaner and grant any requested permissions needed for it to access system folders. Run Flash Clean to scan for junk files, caches, logs, and Trash contents, reviewing the details before confirming removal. Use the Purgeable Space Cleaner, Screen Capture Cleanup, and Downloads Folder Organizer for more targeted cleanup of specific file types. Open App Uninstall to completely remove unwanted applications along with their associated leftover files. Run the Duplicate File Remover periodically to catch identical files accumulating across your storage. Enable the BuhoCleaner Menu app if you want ongoing, real-time system monitoring from the menu bar.
