AppCleaner vs HiBit Uninstaller

AppCleaner is a free macOS utility for uninstalling unwanted applications and finding the files they leave behind. Drag an app into its window to see related files distributed across the system, review the list, and choose what to delete. Version 3.7 improves searches in Application Scripts and asks for Full Disk Access; without that permission, some files may remain. It can locate files associated with system apps, but cannot remove those apps. Downloads cover several macOS generations: version 3.7 for macOS 15 and later, 3.6.8 for macOS 10.14 up to 15.6, 3.6 for macOS 10.13, and 3.4 for macOS 10.10 up to 10.12. Version 3.6 added native Apple M1 support. AppCleaner can detect applications inside disk images and offer to remove the image file instead. Its login item appears in System Settings, and a preference can hide protected apps. The download page also notes a Sparkle updater security fix in version 3.7 and HTTPS updates since version 3.2.

HiBit Uninstaller removes stubborn software, Windows apps, and browser extensions. It offers standard and forced removal, batch uninstall, and scans for leftover files. Install monitoring and a portable version are also listed. Its additional cleanup tools can shred sensitive files, fix registry problems, remove junk files, delete invalid shortcuts, and find empty folders.

The program can manage programs and services that start with Windows, as well as Windows system restore points. Automatic updating is listed among its features. The maker offers installable and portable downloads; the page lists version 4.0.10 at 4.32 MB. The plan is free and lists support for Windows Vista, 7, 8, 10, and 11 in 32- and 64-bit versions. Windows 11 support is also listed separately. A support contact address is [email protected]. The About page identifies Mohammed Raee as the programmer and says he created the site in 2017 to share programs for free.
