Mac app uninstaller for leftover files
Remove the app and the files it left behind.
Dragging an app to Trash removes the app bundle. It often leaves settings, caches, logs, login items, and support files behind. SwoopByte Uninstaller finds them, explains them, and removes them safely — every removal previewed first and reversible from the Trash.
Nothing silentEvery file listed before removal.
Why it is different
Uninstalling is a trust transaction, not just a delete button.
The app should be thorough enough to find leftovers, but careful enough to avoid touching files another app still uses. That safety model is the product.
Shared files protected
Group containers, cloud folders, and same-developer suites stay out of pre-selected removals.
Trash, not wipe
Files move to Trash so a mistake can be recovered until the user empties it.
Plain explanations
Settings, caches, logs, login items, and agents are grouped with simple labels.
Free vs Pro
Start free. The free version does the whole core job.
Uninstall any app — with the full leftover preview and every safety feature — free, forever, with no artificial limits. Pro exists for one thing: removing what macOS has no uninstaller for. One-time $12.99, no subscription.

Two different jobs
Removing an app, or clearing space?
SwoopByte Uninstaller gets one app — and everything it left behind — completely off your Mac. If instead your storage feels full and you are not sure what is safe to remove, that is a different job. See SwoopByte Disk →
