Everything in the drawer

Fifteen tools, one wooden spoon

Nana keeps them sorted like her pantry — Overview, Cleaning, Performance, Privacy & Care.

Overview

Know your Mac

Smart Care

The front door, and one button. Nana checks junk, privacy traces and startup load in a single pass, then hands you a health score, what’s left on your disk and a short list of what to fix first — nothing moves until you say so.

Health Check

A gentle full-body check-up — memory pressure, disk health, login items and cruft — with a plain-English score and what to fix first.

Space Scanner

A visual map of what’s eating your disk. Drill into folders, spot the heavyweights and see the full Folder Breakdown.

Cleaning

Clear the clutter

Smart Clean

The one-tap classic. Nana sweeps system junk, app caches, logs and temp files in one pass — and shows you everything before removing a thing.

Duplicates

Finds identical files no matter what you named them or where they’re buried, keeps the best copy and clears the rest. Byte-for-byte, not guesswork.

Similar Photos

Twelve near-identical shots of the same sunset? Nana groups the look-alikes, marks the sharpest and reclaims the space with a tap.

Large Files

Sorts everything big to the top — old installers, forgotten exports, giant videos — so you can decide what stays in seconds.

Uninstaller

Drag-to-trash leaves crumbs. Nana removes the app and its leftover caches, preferences and support files — the whole plate cleared.

Quarantine

Nana’s safety net. Cleaned items rest here first, so you can restore anything with one click. Nothing’s gone for good until you’re sure.

Performance

Keep it quick

Startup

Manage what launches when you turn on your Mac. Disable the sneaky login items and background agents that make boot-up drag.

Maintenance

Runs the chores macOS forgets — rebuild caches, flush DNS, repair permissions, re-index Spotlight — the little things that keep it snappy.

Dev Cleanup

For the coders: clears node_modules graveyards, Xcode DerivedData, package caches and build artifacts that swallow tens of gigabytes.

Privacy & Care

Look after it

Privacy

Wipes browsing history, cookies and app traces so your Mac doesn’t remember what it doesn’t need to. Nana’s discreet like that.

Snapshots

Time Machine leaves local snapshots behind, and Finder never counts them. Nana lists every one by date and size, so you can drop a single snapshot or purge the lot and get the space back.

Clean Mode

Wipe the screen and keys without typing half a message to your boss. Nana blacks out the display so every smudge shows, and locks the keyboard and trackpad until you hold Space for ten seconds.

Fresh from the oven

Changelog

1.1.028 July 2026Fixes
  • Nana asks for one permission less. The app used to request Accessibility access and list it in Settings → Permissions. It never once used it — Clean Mode has always worked without it — so both the request and the row are gone.
1.0.027 July 2026New
  • A whole new look. Nana’s Cleaner has been rebuilt around one calm, dark interface — every tool has its own screen, with bigger cards, clearer buttons and nothing hidden behind menus.
  • Updates install themselves now. Nana checks for a new version, downloads it, makes sure it really came from us, and swaps itself over — one click, no trip to the website.
  • Your licence lives in Settings. See what your key covers, how many Macs are using it, and release a seat when you move to another machine.
  • Scans no longer freeze the app. The first Smart Clean scan used to lock everything up; the work now happens in the background and you can watch it count.
  • Reviewing a big folder — thousands of old downloads — opens instantly instead of hanging.
  • Similar Photos is much faster to start, and tells you what it’s doing while it looks.
  • Nana now shows up in Full Disk Access by herself, so there’s no hunting for her in System Settings.
  • A proper installer window: drag Nana onto Applications and you’re done.
0.3.027 July 2026
  • Licence keys and a proper 7-day trial. Try every tool for a week, then activate with a key — one key covers 1, 2 or 5 Macs, and you can move a seat when you change machine.
  • Nana tells you when a new version is out — a quiet banner and a Check Now button in Settings. Nothing installs behind your back; you choose when to download.
  • New app icons.
  • Fixed: Dev Cleanup and Health Check disagreed about reclaimable caches — Health Check counted space that Dev Cleanup then couldn’t find. They now look in the same places.
  • Fixed: Space Scanner totals drifted while a scan was running. Folder sizes update live, so the treemap and the folder list add up to the same number.
  • Fixed: Duplicates got one-click keep one cleanup, on a button you can actually see.
  • Fixed: the Health Check score grid no longer sits crooked.
0.2.022 July 2026New
  • New Health Check — “Check My Mac” scores six areas out of 100 on an animated dial, keeps every report with a trend chart, and tells you what to fix first.
  • One design language across Maintenance, Privacy, Startup and Dev Cleanup — same headers, same cards, same centred layout, so every module feels like the same app.
  • Batch actions everywhere — Run All, Clean All, Select All, Keep Best Everywhere and Disable All Orphaned.
  • Startup Manager no longer asks for your admin password. Login items toggle on and off after one “Allow”, and orphaned entries get cleaned up.
  • Clean Mode now hides the sidebar and goes true fullscreen while it locks the screen, then puts your window back exactly as it was.
  • Long jobs show live progress — a bar, rows animating away, and a toast telling you what actually happened.
  • Free-space readouts update the moment you clean, instead of waiting on a five-minute cache.
  • Large Files keeps the “Larger than” picker on screen in every state — a scan with no hits no longer leaves you stuck at a high threshold.
  • Fixed: deletions that failed were quietly hidden. They now stay on screen, selected, so you can retry.
  • Fixed: a safety hole where /private/var paths could be judged safe to delete.
  • Fixed: a freeze caused by the menu bar widget pinning the main thread.
0.1.0Built 30 June 2026Internal build
  • Never released. This one stayed in Nana’s kitchen — it’s here so the story starts where it really did.
  • Nana’s Cleaner is born: Disk Scanner with an animated treemap, Smart Clean across 12 categories, and Time Machine snapshot management.
  • SafetyChecker from day one — four tiers of protection guarding 60+ system paths, so Nana never touches what your Mac needs.
  • Drag and drop to delete, Quick Look with the space bar, and Reveal in Finder from every list.
