The only Mac uninstaller that cleans up npm global packages, Homebrew formulae, and apps — all in one focused tool.
Preview
StrayFiles scans for leftover files from apps you have already removed — npm packages, Homebrew formulae, and macOS apps.
Features
Clean up the mess that macOS leaves behind.
Finds leftover files from macOS apps, npm global packages, and Homebrew formulae — all in one scan.
Identifies orphaned files by cross-referencing installed apps, packages, and formulae with what is actually on disk.
Moves files to Trash instead of deleting — nothing is permanent until you empty the Trash. Runs brew uninstall and npm uninstall when appropriate.
See exactly how much disk space each leftover is using. Sort by size to clean up the biggest offenders first.
Built specifically for developers who install and remove tools constantly. Understands npm, Homebrew, and macOS app bundles.
Everything runs locally on your Mac. No accounts, no data collection, no network calls. Your file system stays private.
