The only Mac uninstaller that cleans up npm global packages, Homebrew formulae, and apps — all in one focused tool.
Preview
StrayFiles scans common locations and shows you exactly what was left behind — so you can decide what to keep.
Features
A smarter way to reclaim your disk space.
No other Mac uninstaller does this. StrayFiles finds every dotfile, config dir, and cache left behind by your npm global packages.
Select the Cellar and StrayFiles runs brew uninstall first, then trashes associated configs and caches. Homebrew stays consistent.
After you drag an app to the Trash, StrayFiles finds what it left behind — Preferences, Application Support, Caches, Containers, Logs, and more.
Moves files to Trash — never permanent deletion. Review exactly what you're removing before committing. You can always restore.
Select the app or package and everything associated gets checked automatically. Uncheck the Cellar to clean up without uninstalling.
Runs entirely on your Mac. No data collection, no accounts, no network calls. Your files never leave your machine.
Trust
StrayFiles is designed with privacy at its core. System utilities should be trustworthy — here's our commitment.
No data collection. No network calls. StrayFiles runs entirely on your Mac, scanning local filesystem paths only. Nothing is sent to any server — ever. No analytics, no crash reporting, no telemetry of any kind.
