Download MagiSweep and start reclaiming disk space in seconds. Free, fast, and safe.
Download for macOSHow to Install
MagiSweep is distributed as a DMG file — no App Store needed. Install it in under a minute.
Download
Click the Download for macOS button to get the DMG file.
Open the DMG
Double-click the downloaded .dmg file to mount it.
Drag to Applications
Drag the MagiSweep icon into the Applications folder.
Launch
Open MagiSweep from your Applications folder or Spotlight.
First Launch — macOS Gatekeeper
Since MagiSweep is not from the App Store, macOS may show a warning on first launch. To open the app:
- 1. Right-click (or Control-click) on MagiSweep in your Applications folder
- 2. Select Open from the context menu
- 3. Click Open in the confirmation dialog
You only need to do this once. Alternatively, go to System Settings → Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway.
Optional: Grant Full Disk Access
For a deeper scan, grant Full Disk Access in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Full Disk Access. This allows MagiSweep to find files in system-protected directories. The app works fine without it too.
