CleanMyMac X 5.6.0 for Mac
CleanMyMac X 5.6.0 MacOS
MacPaw bundles disk cleanup, malware checks, and app management into one review-first workflow where nothing leaves your drive until you tick it off.
Install the DMG, drag the app to Applications, and open a task-based sidebar covering cleanup, protection, speed, and applications. MacPaw markets the 5.x line as CleanMyMac, while many catalog listings still say CleanMyMac X for this branch separate from legacy CleanMyMac X 4.x that MacPaw maintains for older macOS releases through Tahoe 26.
Smart Care is the practical entry point: one pass surfaces system junk, login items, known threat patterns, and maintenance suggestions as grouped categories with size totals. Expand a group, read the explanation, and select only what you want removed. MacPaw relies on a safety database to avoid pre-checking fragile items, yet every deletion still needs your confirmation there is no one-click erase of the entire disk.
How do I install and activate?
Before installing/updating, uninstall the old version of CleanMyMac, for example, using App Cleaner & Uninstaller.
Run the downloaded image and drag the app to the Applications folder shortcut.
After copying is complete, you can launch the app from Launchpad.
Compatibility
macOS 10.13 and later
