Why MacPaw will stop developing CleanMyDrive 2
Since 2023, you can remove junk from external drives not only with CleanMyDrive 2, but also through the CleanMyMac X menu. We decided not to duplicate the feature in two apps, but leave it in one place: CleanMyMac
And if we stop maintaining CleanMyDrive 2 as a standalone app, we will’want more resources for great products other than CleanMyMacSet up app,WisVPN,Moon lock,Gemini 2InTwin photos,Remove from archive, and others.
What it means for users that CleanMyDrive 2 is no longer in development
CleanMyDrive 2 will not be available in the App Store
If you haven't downloaded the app before, you won't be able to get it. However, all of CleanMyDrive 2's features can be found in the CleanMyMac X menu (read morein this episode).
If you already have CleanMyDrive, it remains absolutely safe to use
For people who have installed the app before, it remains completely stable, functional and secure. The App Store will not remove CleanMyDrive 2 from your Mac.
These are the system requirements for CleanMyDrive 2:
- macOS 10.13 and later, including macOS 14 Sonoma
- Both Intel and Apple silicon processors
- 35 MB space on your hard drive
We cannot guarantee that CleanMyDrive 2 will always work flawlessly on older systems. Apple fully supports only its latest operating system and two versions before that. When a new operating system is released, an older system will no longer receive feature and security updates. Without security updates, all apps, including CleanMyDrive 2, could be vulnerable to hackers. And like other apps on unsupported systems, CleanMyDrive 2 may run slowly or even stop unexpectedly, and we may not be able to help you.
CleanMyDrive 2 may also run slower and less reliablysystems, including macOS 14 Sonomabecause the app is not receiving any updates or fixes. We therefore recommend switching toCleanMyMac X, which is always supported on the latest operating systems.
