FRAME 04 · VERIFY

Check the download

The SHA-256 checksum proves the file you got is the file we published. Open Terminal and run:

shasum -a 256 ~/Downloads/CleanLoupe-1.0.0.dmg

The output should match exactly:

0d70ca906c4589c93a87347ec4a64f84641a89c18a839edf4a3891a55388f191

FRAME 05 · IF MACOS WARNS YOU

“CleanLoupe can't be opened”

Version 1.0.0 is not yet notarized by Apple, so macOS may stop it the first time you open it. Upcoming releases will be notarized, and this warning will go away.

  1. 1

    Check the checksum first

    Run the command above. Only continue if the result matches the published SHA-256 exactly.

  2. 2

    Try to open CleanLoupe once

    Double-click it in Applications. When macOS shows the warning, click Done (or Cancel). Don't move it to the Trash.

  3. 3

    Allow it in System Settings

    Open System Settings › Privacy & Security, scroll to Security, and click Open Anyway next to the message about CleanLoupe. Confirm with your password or Touch ID.

  4. 4

    Open it again

    From then on CleanLoupe opens normally. This approval applies to this one app only.

You never need to turn off Gatekeeper or any other macOS protection to use CleanLoupe. If the checksum doesn't match, delete the file and download it again from this page.

FRAME 06 · FIRST RUN

What to do first

Open CleanLoupe and press Smart Scan. It runs every module at once and shows how much is safe to clean right now. The Clean button removes only items marked Safe, and everything goes to the Trash first, so you can put it back from History.

Want to know what each module does before you start? Read about Smart Scan, Cleanup and the rest of the features, or see the release notes for 1.0.0.
