Our free features exist to support orphanages and single women in difficult circumstances.
The free tools — Cleanup and Find Large Files — are, and always will be, free. But we built CoreSweep for these causes. So if our free features help you, a donation would be warmly welcomed — it goes toward this work.
Why is it free?
In one sentence: Cleanup and Find Large Files are free forever in CoreSweep — no trial countdown, no card, no account — because the most common reason to open a cleanup app shouldn't cost anything.
What's always free
Two tools never lock, on every Mac, indefinitely:
- Cleanup — clears caches, logs and temporary files (safe, user-level junk), straight to the Trash so it's reversible.
- Find Large Files — hunts down the biggest files on your disk so you can spot space hogs in seconds.
That combination handles the everyday "my disk is full" panic for most people, free. If that's all you ever need, you never pay.
Why we do this
Freeing obvious junk and finding big files is table stakes — we'd rather you trust CoreSweep with the simple stuff and decide for yourself whether the deeper tools are worth it. No dark patterns, no nagging, and (as always) zero telemetry: the app makes no network calls to watch what you do.
How the trial works
The rest of CoreSweep is built around one honest one-time purchase — no subscription. Before you buy, you get to try everything:
- Everyday tools (Duplicates, Storage Map, System Data, Insights) — free to use for 30 days.
- Pro tools (Compress, Uninstall, Dev Clean, Trends, Privacy, Reports, Schedules, Watch Folders, bulk Reclaim) — a focused 3-day trial so you can put them through their paces.
When a trial window ends, that tool simply asks you to unlock — nothing you cleaned is affected, and Cleanup and Find Large Files keep working free.
Unlocking everything
A single one-time payment of $49 unlocks every tool, forever on this major version — on your Mac, no account required. There's also a 14-day money-back guarantee, so it's risk-free.
