Mint
Mint is a macOS utility for organizing folders, reviewing cleanup candidates, reclaiming disk space, and redacting sensitive details in PDFs and images.
What is Mint?
Mint is a native macOS utility that helps users organize files, review storage cleanup, and create redacted copies of PDFs and images. It is designed for people who want to keep folders such as Downloads, Desktop, Documents, or project directories tidy without making blind file changes. The app previews proposed moves before anything is changed, logs file operations, and supports undo so recent actions can be reversed. It can scan for caches, build data, duplicates, downloads, and other space-consuming items, with broader storage coverage available when you authorize it. Mint also includes on-device redaction tools for hiding sensitive information before sharing documents or screenshots. Published by DZG Studio LLC, Mint is available for Mac and focuses on practical file management and cleanup workflows rather than general cloud storage or backup.
Key features
- Organize folders you choose with a preview before files are moved
- Review cleanup candidates such as caches, duplicates, downloads, and build data
- Undo logged file moves after organizing or cleanup actions
- Scan Mac storage to identify reclaimable space within the locations you authorize
- Redact sensitive details in PDFs and images and save a separate cleaned copy
- Use the app without creating an account
- Run core scanning, organization, and redaction tasks on-device

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Mint performs file organization, storage scanning, and document redaction, so it may request access to folders you choose and broader disk access for wider cleanup coverage. That level of access is normal for a Mac cleanup and file-management tool, but it means the app can inspect and move files within the locations you allow. Review proposed changes before running cleanup or organization tasks, especially in work or project folders. The app’s listed privacy information says it does not collect data, and its core processing is described as running on your Mac.
Recommendation: Keep Mint if you actively use it to organize files, reclaim storage, or redact documents on your Mac. If you no longer use those features, you can remove it like other third-party apps; doing so may also remove its undo history and any app-specific settings tied to your cleanup workflow.
