Security
Core cleanup stays on your Mac.
Core scanning, disk analysis, and cleanup run on your Mac. Preview first and use recoverable Trash by default; Downloader and SSH / SFTP connect only when you use them.
Safety first
The biggest fear in cleaning is deleting the wrong thing — so we build peace of mind into every step
The biggest trust risk in any cleaner is deleting the wrong thing. So Xico Clean puts three independent gates in front of every deletion — plus red lines, previews, and undo. Every step leaves a way back.
Always preview, then delete
Every item expands to show its path and size — nothing moves until you confirm.
Undoable
Items go to the Trash or a recoverable area first, so you can undo your last cleanup anytime.
Whitelist & ignore list
Permanently protect certain paths, and Xico Clean will never touch them again.
Red lines, never crossed
Critical system paths, SSH keys and cloud credentials (like ~/.ssh and ~/.aws), the keychain — the rule library refuses them outright, no exceptions.
Three independent checks
A pre-check in the UI → a second pass by the safety engine → a final verification by the system-level helper right before deletion — all three sharing one rule library.
Transparent by design
Every category explains what it is and what happens if you delete it — never a black box.
Xico Safety Library
A continuously updated set of cleanup rules — every removable item explains why it’s safe to delete, and false positives can be reported and ignored locally in one click. All three checkpoints share the same rules.
Trash Sentinel
Drag an app to the Trash and Xico detects its leftover caches, preferences, and launch items — grouped by the original app, alerts only, never deleting anything automatically.
Privacy
Your files stay on your Mac — always
Cleaning is deeply personal. All scanning and analysis in Xico Clean happen locally — we neither want to, nor are able to, see your files.
