⚡ MacLight

Modern System Cleaner, Duplicate Finder & Performance Suite for macOS

Developed by ToolNPlay.com • Author: Pardeep Kumar (Lead Software Engineer & Architect)

macOS Version License: Freeware


Compatible with macOS Sonoma, Sequoia, and macOS Tahoe (Apple Silicon M1/M2/M3/M4 & Intel)


✨ Key Features

  • ⚡ Menu Bar Companion: Quick-access menu bar meter with 1-click RAM purge, live disk storage meter, and trash empty shortcut.
  • 👯 Smart Duplicate Files Finder: Bit-for-bit SHA-256 duplicate detection with instant side-by-side live preview for Photos, 4K Videos, Audio, and Documents.
  • 🛡️ Developer & Project Safe Mode: Built-in safeguards automatically protect Xcode projects, Git repositories (.git), build artifacts (DerivedData, .swiftmodule), and package caches (node_modules, Pods).
  • 🧹 App Residual Leftovers: Scans deep inside ~/Library to completely wipe hidden orphaned caches, preferences, and crash logs left behind by deleted applications.
  • 🚀 Startup Items & Daemons Manager: Enable, disable, or delete startup background launch agents and daemons (LaunchAgents, LaunchDaemons).
  • 🔒 Privacy & Traces Wiper: Instantly wipe terminal command histories, Finder recent items, clipboard data, and quick-look caches.
  • 📁 Visual Disk Footprint: Interactive DaisyDisk-style visual bar chart breakdown of your largest space hogs.
  • 🔋 Battery Health & Hardware Telemetry: Real-time Apple Silicon CPU performance, battery health cycle count, and thermal state monitoring.

🚀 How to Install & Open (First Time Setup)

Because MacLight is distributed freely outside the Mac App Store:

  1. Download the MacLight-v1.0.0.dmg installer.
  2. Double-click the .dmg and drag MacLight into your Applications folder.
  3. First launch:
    • In Finder -> Applications, Right-Click (or Control + Click) MacLight.
    • Select Open from the context menu.
    • Click Open in the confirmation dialog. (You only need to do this once — macOS will remember your permission!)

🔄 Automatic Updates

MacLight automatically checks for updates in the background. When a new version is released, you will receive an in-app prompt with release notes and a direct download button.

You can also manually check anytime via MacLight Menu Bar > Check for Updates or in the About window.
