v2.06.158 (16 Aug 2022)

CCleaner for Mac 2.6 brings new browser cleaning in addition to some ease-of-use upgrades for our ‘Analyze photos’ feature, plus some handy bug fixes.

Expanding our cleaning

• We've listened to your feedback and have added browser cleaning for Vivaldi. Now, you can easily remove cookies, cache, and browsing history from your Vivaldi web browser. 

Making ‘allowed sites’ easier to access

• Previously, you had to scroll down on the ‘Settings’ screen to find the ‘Browser Cleaning’ and the ‘allowed websites’ section. But now, we'll take you straight there when you click ‘Manage Allowed Sites.’

Simplifying our photo analyzer feature

• When you're analyzing a large volume of bad or similar photos, you now have the option to select all photos (and deselect the ones you want to keep), rather than selecting them one by one.

Fixing bugs

• We've fixed several bugs, including one that was preventing the 'TRY AGAIN' button from working correctly when a subscription fails to activate.

v2.05.144 (16 Jun 2022)

This brand-new version of CCleaner for Mac is now faster, more efficient, more reliable and has a new look.

BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND!

• Manage your startup programs – We’ve re-introduced a startup manager to help you improve startup speed and overall performance — with a fresh new look.

IMPROVED

• Scan without closing your browsers – Previously, we asked to close your browsers twice: while scanning and again before cleaning. Now, you only need to close them once when you’re ready to clean.
• Clickable thumbnails in the ‘Analyze Photos’ section – When you want to analyze photos, you can now click on thumbnails to see the larger images (instead of just using your keyboard).
• Easier selection in the ‘Analyze Photos’ section – Before, you had to click just the checkbox to select images. Now, the whole image is clickable, so you don’t have to be so precise.

FIXED

• Bug fixes – We fixed many bugs, including one where apps uninstalled through your trash were always shown as 0 MB, so now you can see their correct sizes.

v2.04.141 (15 Mar 2022)

Several bug fixes and a brand new statistics page

• New ‘Statistics’ page — We added a new statistics dashboard so users can keep track of everything they’ve accomplished since using the new CCleaner for Mac.
• Fixed bugs — We fixed a few bugs: one where the ‘scanning to clean’ screen froze, one where fonts were disappearing, and another where the layout would break when reading in Arabic. 
• Other improvements — We’ve been making smaller under-the-hood improvements to keep CCleaner working smoothly. 

v2.03.137 (01 Feb 2022)

• Improved accessibility — this new version is optimized for MacOS accessibility features, such as Voiceover

NEW PRO Feature! Find bad photos

• Tame and organize photo libraries by finding bad, blurry, poorly lit, or identical-looking photo files and removing them

Improved cleaning and optimization

• We’ve added a new and improved ‘Large Files’ section to ‘Clutter cleaning’ to make it even easier to save space
