Core AppAudit features that help you understand what is on your Mac

AppAudit gives every user a practical set of tools for scanning installed apps, spotting duplicates, reviewing important details, organizing what matters, and planning cleanup or migration work.

  • Scan your installed apps in one place

    Get a clearer view of what is installed on your Mac without relying on Finder alone.

    AppAudit - Basic Selected Applications
    • Scan installed .app bundles across your Mac

    • Include running apps when macOS exposes their paths

    • See scan totals for apps and copies found

    • Cancel a scan and keep results already collected

  • Spot duplicate apps faster

    AppAudit helps you see when more than one copy of the same app exists, so duplicates do not stay hidden.

    AppAudit Basic - Duplicates
    • Detect apps with multiple discovered copies

    • See duplicate counts in the dashboard and app list

    • Review grouped duplicates without cluttering the main view

    • Use duplicate prompts to understand what needs attention

  • Review the details that matter

    Open an app’s details to understand what it is, where it lives, and whether it may need follow-up.

    • See app path, version, size, and important dates

    • View review notices and copy counts

    • Display real app icons for easier visual scanning

    • Search by app name or developer

    • Sort by name, version, size, or dates

    • Filter by duplicates, system apps, and third-party apps

  • Turn inventory into a plan

    AppAudit is not just for looking. It helps you organize what to keep, review, reinstall, or clean up later.

    AppAudit Basic - Notes
    • Add notes to apps as you review them

    • Create custom lists for real cleanup or migration tasks

    • Use multi-select to organize several apps at once

    • Keep list membership even after rescanning

    Built-in guidance helps both technical and nontechnical users feel comfortable using AppAudit.

    • Easily review macOS permissions needed for AppAudit

  • Use advanced filters and search

    Narrow large inventories with deeper search plus filters for app type, reinstall source, size, last-opened history, and detected locations.

    Track review progress with statuses like Unreviewed, Reviewed, and Needs Follow-up, then take action with the tools and context you need right from the advanced workspace.

Why cleanup gets complicated

The apps on your Mac are often harder to understand than they should be

Over time, app inventories get scattered, duplicated, outdated, and harder to trust. Before you remove anything, you need a clearer picture of what is installed and what still matters.
Application chaos without AppAudit
  • 1+

    Copies of the same app

    One app can exist in more than one place, making version tracking and cleanup more confusing than expected.

  • 0+

    Days since you last opened it

    Older or forgotten apps can sit untouched for weeks, months, or longer without giving you a clear reason to keep them.

  • 0+

    Places an app might be hiding

    Apps can be spread across standard folders, alternate locations, cloud storage, or attached volumes.

  • 0?

    Simple question before cleanup

    Is this app still needed, safe to remove, or worth reviewing first? Without better visibility, even simple decisions feel uncertain.
