In one sentence

SiftMac is the Mac cleaner that explains every file before it goes: does it come back? Pay once, no subscription.

In one paragraph

SiftMac finds what’s filling your Mac and gives every item a verdict: Safe, Rebuilds or You decide, with the reason in plain words. Anything that can’t rebuild waits 7 days on the Undo Shelf, so you can put it back. It never touches files an open app is using, explains what’s inside “System Data”, and covers developer and AI-tool files such as Xcode DerivedData, old node_modules, Claude Code chats and Ollama models. Nothing leaves your Mac.

What’s different about it

A reason for every item. Every item says what it is and whether it comes back, before anything moves. The rules are public: how SiftMac decides.
A 7-day way back. Downloads, apps, duplicates, iPhone backups and the Trash wait on the Undo Shelf; Put back returns each one to where it was.
Honest numbers. Only space you really get back is counted, so APFS clones and hard links aren’t counted twice.
Pay once. No subscription, nothing renews, nothing to cancel.

The Undo Shelf: removed items grouped by day, each with days left, its size and a Put back button.

The Receipt SiftMac prints after a cleanup: sizes per category, no file names.
