App Cleaner & Uninstaller
App Cleaner & Uninstaller is a macOS utility that helps you remove apps completely, manage leftovers, and review related files in one place.
What is App Cleaner & Uninstaller?
App Cleaner & Uninstaller is a native macOS utility for uninstalling apps and cleaning up the service files they leave behind. It is designed for Mac users who want a more complete removal process than dragging an app to the Trash. The app scans installed applications, finds associated support files, and lets you review what will be removed before you proceed. It also includes tools for managing startup items, extensions, remaining leftovers, and outdated applications from a single interface. For people who regularly install and remove software, it can simplify maintenance and help keep application clutter under control. App Cleaner & Uninstaller is published by Nektony LLC and is focused on app management workflows on Mac.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
This app’s behavior is generally consistent with its purpose as a Mac uninstaller and cleanup tool. It may request Full Disk Access so it can scan application support files, leftovers, and other app-related data across your Mac. That permission is powerful, so only keep it enabled if you use the app’s cleanup and management features, and download updates directly from Nektony. Older Nektony support materials also reference related files under com.nektony.App-Cleaner-Pro, so if you inspect leftover files manually, expect some version naming differences.
Recommendation: Keep App Cleaner & Uninstaller if you actively use it to uninstall software, review leftovers, or manage startup items on your Mac. If you do not use cleanup utilities regularly, you can remove it without affecting macOS itself, and you can always reinstall it later when you need a deeper app removal tool.
