Rebuildable. Rule-matched. Confirmed.
Only verified cleanup candidates reach this point, and they still wait for you.
Local intelligence. User authority.
CleanDeck is the Mac cleaner you can question. It examines your Mac, explains what it finds, and shows the evidence behind every answer — while deletion stays where it belongs: with you.
Why is this tool protected?
This is the tool's main location. It contains sessions, history, and working state, so the root remains Protected.
01 / The inversion
Most cleaners reduce the decision to a large number, a green button, and a request for faith. What was found? Why is it safe to remove? What happens if the cleaner is wrong? The button doesn't say.
CleanDeck starts where the button stops. Before anything moves, it shows you what it found, why it was classified that way, and what it would do — in plain language, with the evidence attached.

ProtectedNo cleanup action offered — your call.
It shows what it found, why,
and refuses to act. You decide.
The scan observes what is actually on your Mac.
Every classification comes with its basis.
No explanation can approve its own action.
02 / The separation
CleanDeck's intelligence is designed to keep getting better: to understand more of what lives on a Mac, explain it more clearly, and answer harder questions.
Permanent by design
It can propose and explain. It cannot move a file or approve its own suggestion. A smarter CleanDeck never means a more dangerous one.
03 / Question it
An answer you can't question is just a prettier button. CleanDeck keeps the answer and the evidence in the same view.
A recognized developer-tool root containing sessions and working state.
Tool roots stay outside standard cleanup so the system remains intact.
When CleanDeck cannot support an answer with evidence, it says what it cannot establish instead of guessing.
04 / Uncertainty
Important data stays Protected. Uncertain data stops at Review. Neither becomes a cleanup action by confidence alone.
Only verified cleanup candidates reach this point, and they still wait for you.
When the classification is uncertain, CleanDeck presents the choice instead of inventing certainty.
Settings, sessions, models, keys, and databases stay outside standard cleanup.
05 / Built for people who build
To a conventional cleaner, development tools are just gigabytes. CleanDeck sees state and context: tools, settings, sessions, and downloaded models forming a working system.
Your machine's memory of your work is not junk.
06 / Local by principle
The scan, intelligence, and evidence stay on the machine they describe.
