Ready in a minute.

First time installing an app from outside the App Store? Just follow these steps in order.

  1. 1

    Download Cleen

    Click Download. The Cleen.dmg file goes to your Downloads folder.

  2. 2

    Drag it to Applications

    Double-click Cleen.dmg. In the window that opens, drag the Cleen icon onto the Applications folder right next to it.

  3. 3

    Try to open it once

    Open your Applications folder and double-click Cleen. macOS says it couldn't verify the app: close that alert. That's expected, since Cleen hasn't gone through Apple's paid verification yet.

  4. 4

    Allow it in Privacy & Security

    Open System Settings › Privacy & Security and scroll to the bottom. Next to the message about Cleen, click Open Anyway and confirm with your password or Touch ID. Only this first time.

  5. 5

    Hover over the notch

    Cleen lives around the camera. A quick tour shows you the rest, and from then on it updates itself.

Questions? Answers.

What is Cleen?

A Mac app that lives in the notch. It cleans up your disk, has a full launcher on ⌥ Space, keeps what you've copied, shows Claude Code at work and your AI limits, and puts almost thirty tools a gesture away.

Can it replace Raycast?

For everyday use, yes. Search opens apps, switches windows by title, finds files, converts currencies, units, time zones, and dates, pastes snippets and emoji, runs system commands, and shows each result's actions with ⌘K. Any command can get its own alias and shortcut.

Does it open on hover or on click?

You choose in Settings › Appearance. It also opens with ⌃⌥C or a two-finger swipe down on the trackpad, and search opens with ⌥ Space.

Which Macs does it work on?

Macs with Apple silicon running macOS 26 or later. On displays without a notch, Cleen draws one at the top, external displays included.

Is it safe to clean my Mac with it?

Every removal goes through a safeguard that protects system folders and the main folders in your account. Before anything is deleted, the notch expands and lists what will go, how much space it takes, and whether it goes to the Trash or is gone for good. Nothing happens until you click Confirm.

Is it a subscription?

No. Cleen is free, and its source code is on GitHub.

How do I get updates?

Automatically. Every six hours it looks for a new version, checks its integrity and signature, and swaps in the new app. You can turn this off in Settings › About.

Do notes sync with other apps?

Yes, in Settings › Notes. With Obsidian, each note becomes an .md file in a Cleen folder in your vault, and changes you make there come back. With the Notes app, each note gets a copy in a Cleen folder.

Does my data stay with me?

Yes. Nothing is collected or sent. The network is only used for weather, stock quotes, exchange rates, Lucide icons, and reading your AI tools' limits, straight from each service.

Why does macOS warn me the first time?

Cleen isn't notarized by Apple yet. The first time you open it, go to System Settings › Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway. You only do this once.
