BuhoCleaner
BuhoCleaner is a Mac cleanup and maintenance utility from Dr.Buho for freeing storage, uninstalling apps, and monitoring system status.
What is BuhoCleaner?
BuhoCleaner is a macOS cleanup and maintenance app published by Dr.Buho Inc. It is designed to help users reclaim disk space, find large or duplicate files, remove apps and their leftover files, and review startup items. The product also includes system monitoring features through its menu bar component, showing details such as resource usage and device status while the app is running. Dr.Buho distributes it directly from its own website rather than through the Mac App Store, partly because some cleanup and uninstall functions require broader system access than App Store apps typically receive. Users usually encounter BuhoCleaner when looking for a Mac cleaner, app uninstaller, or storage management tool for an older or crowded Mac. As with many cleanup utilities, some features may request elevated privileges, so it is best used deliberately and with attention to what is being removed.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
BuhoCleaner appears to be a legitimate commercial Mac utility from Dr.Buho Inc., not an obvious malware item. However, cleanup and uninstall tools can affect important files if used carelessly, and some functions may request privileged access to remove deeper app components or manage system-related items.
Recommendation: Keep it if you actively use its cleanup, uninstall, or monitoring features. If you no longer use it, removal is usually reasonable, but review any privileged helper, login item, or remaining support files before deleting related data.
