The Ultra-Fast, Privacy-Focused Native macOS Optimization Suite
Meticulously crafted with Swift & SwiftUI for peak performance, smooth visuals, and total local control.
NovaClean Pro is a modern, lightweight, and high-performance system utility built exclusively for macOS. Unlike traditional bloated system cleaners that install persistent background daemons or harvest telemetry, NovaClean runs 100% locally, executes scans on dedicated background threads, and respects your privacy.
Powered by SwiftUI and native AppKit integrations, it features a fluid glassmorphic UI, real-time responsive controls, and high-precision system tweaks.
NovaClean is actively maintained and evolving with cutting-edge features and optimizations:
- 🏗️ Centralized File Core (
CoreFileService): Complete decoupling of the Presentation/ViewModel layer fromFileManager. All I/O operations, disk space calculations, and permission checks are encapsulated within a thread-safe service layer. - ⚡ Swift 6 Strict Concurrency: Zero MainActor-blocking operations. Heavy disk enumerations run as
nonisolatedbackground tasks (Task.detached), dropping scan times to milliseconds and eliminating UI stuttering. - 💉 Centralized Dependency Injection: Built around
AppDIContainerfor seamless switching between mock environments, previews, and live production engines. - 🌊 Frame-Synchronized Liquid UI: Custom wave rendering engine built with
TimelineViewfor silky-smooth 60/120Hz display animations. - 📦 Intelligent App Uninstaller: Deep residual scanner that hunts down hidden caches, preference files, containers, and logs across user Library pathways before wiping binaries.
- 🛡️ Advanced System Tweaks & Security Hub: Instant toggle controls for macOS defaults, security hardening (FileVault, Firewall Stealth Mode, Safari Auto-Open protection), telemetry blocking, and custom Encrypted DNS profile generation (
.mobileconfig).
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| 🧹 Deep System Clean | High-speed streaming scan engine that safely targets system caches, temporary logs, developer residue, and trash. |
| 📦 Application Manager | Scans .app packages and detects deep residual files (Application Support, Caches, Preferences, Containers, Logs). |
| 🛡️ System Tweaks | Fine-tune macOS settings: disable telemetry, reduce Core Animations, block .DS_Store on network drives, force immediate password locks, and show hidden/extension files. |
| 🌐 Encrypted DNS Setup | Generates native Apple .mobileconfig profiles to enforce DNS-over-HTTPS (Cloudflare, Mullvad, Quad9) system-wide. |
| 📊 Big Files Finder | Quickly locates forgotten disk-hogging files for manual or batch removal. |
| 🚀 Login Items & Daemons | Manage startup applications, user processes, and background launch daemons. |
| 🔒 Safe-by-Design | Built-in path sanitization, protected system directories, and conservative deletion scopes. |
NovaClean Pro adheres to a strict Clean Architecture + MVVM pattern powered by modern Swift 6 Concurrency and Dependency Injection:

└────────────────────────────┬────────────────────────────┘
│ @ObservedObject / @State

- Zero Third-Party Dependencies: 100% native Apple SDKs (
Foundation,AppKit,SwiftUI,CoreLocation). - Zero Background Bloatware: No background daemons running when the app is closed. Zero battery drain.
- Multi-Language Support: Native localization support (English & Spanish out of the box).
The UI utilizes Glassmorphism, materials, and dark-mode native styling that fits seamlessly into the macOS aesthetic.

git clone [https://github.com/arnabau/NovaClean.git](https://github.com/arnabau/NovaClean.git)
# Navigate to project directory
cd NovaClean
