MacWrench

Check installed apps against their developers’ update feeds and the App Store. Outdated apps appear first with the installed version, available update, and release notes. Update App Store apps individually or all at once (current macOS versions need the free mas tool). Apps that use their own updater are clearly marked, and one click opens them so you can finish there.

Scan caches, logs, crash reports, browser data, abandoned files, and large or old downloads. Developer files get dedicated categories for Xcode, npm, Yarn, pip, Gradle, CocoaPods, Swift Package Manager, Docker, and Homebrew. MacWrench shows each item’s size, location, and cleanup guidance before anything is removed. On macOS 26 and later, Apple’s on-device Foundation Models explain categories and flag files that may deserve a closer look. Earlier macOS versions use built-in heuristics instead.

Remove an app together with its containers, preferences, caches, logs, and launch agents. MacWrench shows every file it will move before anything goes to the Trash, so you can untick what you want to keep.

Monitor CPU load, memory pressure, disk activity, and network throughput, and see which apps use the most CPU and memory. Where supported, MacWrench also shows performance and efficiency cores, GPU load, power draw, temperatures, fan speeds, and SSD health. Add compact gauges to the menu bar or a widget to your desktop, and set your own alert thresholds.

Browse and install new packages, view installed formulae and casks, check versions, and install updates one by one or in bulk. Pin packages, manage services and taps, clean stale downloads, run brew doctor, and export a Brewfile. Cleanup previews what Homebrew plans to remove, and installs show Homebrew’s own output as they run.

See the launch agents that run for your account and system-wide in one list. Each shows a readable name, a safety rating, and the program behind it when available, so you can turn off the ones in your account you don’t recognize or no longer need.
