BuhoCleaner

In my opinion, an elegant, stable and efficient application, THE BEST for deep Mac cleaning.

I personally think that this software is very well done. It is more intuitive, easy to use and stable than having a beautiful UI. People use software but want stability, ease of use and convenience. It is useless, so the most important thing for the system and software is to be stable and easy to use

As soon as I opened the application to try, I was greeted with something like "two helper tools are installed"...!?? I hate these little "helpers". So I immediately shut it down, opened up "Remove-it" to dispose of it. Then I fired up EasyFind(the squirrel) to discover another 10 or so trace elements of Buho. No more trying anything else. There is NO Better than ONYX and Cocktail.

The best. Fast, efficient. lightweight and with regular updates. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

If you're really looking for something that will uninstall apps, buy TinkerTool System, which has an "Uninstallation Assistant," together with many other superbly engineered and documented tools. Read the extensive tutorials and learn what you're doing before you go hacking around your Mac. Yes, this means that you will actually have to READ and LEARN something about macOS, rather than just playing around with something "simple, easy-to-use" and overpriced. Buho is now just one of about 76 "cleaner" apps on MacUpdate. The developer's marketing strategy, at least here on MacUpdate, is to issue a new version every 3 weeks or so, to stay at the top of the list. As I posted below on 12/23/20, no one who knows what they're doing will use or recommend any of these "cleaners." Based on the silly, obviously fake, 5-star reviews here, Buho is apparently is trying to eat into CleanMyMacX's market share. I hope they enjoy their meal.

I actually purchased this from BundleHunt. I see a few 0-star reviews here from people that haven't even tried it. I was looking for something that would easily uninstall software, and clean up leftovers from products that didn't uninstall correctly. It also cleans up old cache files, and makes it easy to find large files on your system. It's a simple, easy-to-use interface, and does those things very well. If this is what you are looking for, I highly recommend it. I see someone else mentioned Onyx, which I found extremely complex, and Cleanmymacx which I thought was overpriced for what you got.

I have been clean my Mac user but I was having issue with older Macs but I am loving the simpler design and speedy performance of Buho cleaner currently.

I have used many other cleaner apps, including Cleanmymac for a number of years. I am so pleased to have found BuhoCleaner. It cleans, finds large files, duplicates, programs and startup items. It runs extremely quickly, is very reasonable to purchase with a one off license fee and not needing a subscription to use. I recommend everyone who has a Mac to get this - you will not be disappointed.

This is not a review per se, it is a discussion of the class of software to which this program belongs. As a public service to the MacUpdate community, I've found as many of these "cleaner" apps on this website as I could and listed them them below. I intend to post this every time a new or updated version of one of these things shows up on this site. There are now 58 in the list, and it seems like new entries in the 'Mac cleaner' market space pop up every day, metastasizing like a cancer. Unfortunately, more is not better. They are all of dubious value. Many have no reviews here. Many have what look to be essentially fake 5-star reviews with no useful commentary. Many -- probably the most accurate and honest -- have negative reviews, by users who have been burned by them. Most of the developers' descriptions boast about what a great job they do, but the truth is, there are no good, comprehensive, head-to-head reviews of these programs by impartial 3rd parties. True experts in macOS maintenance advise against using any of them, because in general they serve little useful purpose and they can easily do more harm than good. Macs simply do not need "cleaning." (See for example: https://www.thesafemac.com/the-myth-of-the-dirty-mac/) Some of these programs are notorious for being little more than malware. Many have "disk" in their name, although disks, especially internal ones, are now a thing of the past. (Although macOS still comes with the storage drive initialized as "Macintosh HD," a quaint relic of a bygone era.) You are well-advised to read any program documentation and make a RELIABLE BACKUP before attempting any changes. If I have missed any programs that should be on the list, please leave a comment and let me know. I will rate all these programs with one star, probably one more than they deserve. And I would appreciate comments. If you disagree, please speak up. But if all you can come up with is 5 stars and a sentence or two saying that program X is great and I don't know what I'm talking about, please save your breath. No one here will take you seriously. And I apologize for the almost unreadable formatting, a severe limitation of MacUpdate itself, which compresses maximum text into minimum space, leaving no whitespace for readability. :: BEGIN LIST: : Aooro : AppCleaner & Uninstaller : AutoTrash : AweCleaner : BuhoCleaner : CCleaner : CleanGeeker : Clean Me : Cleaner One Pro : CleanMyMac X : Cocktail : Combo Cleaner : Disk Aid : Disk Analyzer Pro : Disk BoostUp : Disk Clean Pro : Disk Cleaner : Disk Cleaner Pro : Disk Diet : Disk Doctor : Disk Expert : Disk Health : Disk Janitor : DiskKeeper Advanced Cleaner : DiskKeeper Cleaner - Modern : DiskKeeper Pro : Disk Manager: Disk Sensei : Disk Xray : Disk Xray Lite : Doctor Disk Cleaner : Hard Disk Manager : HD Cleaner : iMac Cleaner : MacBooster : Mac Cleaner : MacClean : MacClean360 : MacCleaner Pro : MacCleanse : MacEnizer : MacMaintenance : MacMaster : Mojave Cleaner : More Disk Space : Omni Remover : PowerMyMac : Precious Disk : Pro Disk Cleaner : Quick Cleaner : Sensei : Stellar SpeedUpMac : TrashMe 3 : Washing Machine : WeCleanse : WinZip Mac Optimizer : Wise Mac Care : Wise mCleaner :: END LIST : :: The only system maintenance tools I recommend are 1) TinkerTool System, a true bargain priced at only $14 for a single license. TinkerTool System is a an exceptional piece of quality engineering, safe when used properly, and superbly documented, with in-depth tutorials for every option. 2) OnyX, from Titanium Software, another excellent developer. 3) I have used Northern Softworks' "Cache Cleaners" in the past (the latest being "Catalina Cache Cleaner," which I have not used) and their products are first rate. As for the rest, listed above, it is safe to say that nobody who really knows what they're doing with Macs and macOS will touch them. Don't get sucked in by a pretty interface. You may very well regret it. -SB

Two new users w/o any recent downloads but a 5-Star-rating? More than suspicious spam

Great! Simple and fast app. This is one of the best cleaner apps I've ever purchased. Works very well on my MacBook pro.

Simple Mac Cleaner. Nice.
