What's new
Last updated: October 10, 2026
Every version of the direct download, newest first. The Mac App Store version, once it's live, updates through the App Store.
Version 1.0.2
October 2026
- New: Deactivate This Mac. Moving to a new Mac? Open About SpaceUp Mac and choose Deactivate This Mac to free your license, then activate it on the new Mac. Copy Key sits next to it, so your key is always at hand. Moving to a new Mac has the steps.
- If a license key is already active on its maximum number of Macs, SpaceUp Mac now explains how to free one up and offers an Email Support button, instead of a bare error.
Version 1.0.1
September 2026
- New: in-app updates. Use Check for Updates in the SpaceUp Mac menu, or let the app check about once a day. It asks before it ever checks, and a check sends nothing about you or your files. Section 6 of the privacy policy has the details. This is the first version with updates built in, so if you have 1.0.0, download the latest version once and future versions arrive in the app.
- Permanent items (iPhone and iPad backups, Empty Trash, Xcode Archives) are marked Can't undo, are never ticked by the All buttons, and are named in a confirmation first. Anything added to them or changed after the scan is left alone.
- Deep Scan asks before trashing personal folders, app data, unsorted folders and generic build folders. Build, target and Pods folders only count as rebuildable next to their project files.
- Deep Scan shows iPhone backups, simulators and sync folders for information only.
- Known local AI model caches, including Chrome's on-device model, are left unticked or kept out of the cache sweep.
- Chrome's downloadable components and Claude's Cowork VM images are skipped while Chrome or Claude is open.
- Advisor asks before removing simulators or thinning Time Machine snapshots.
- Uninstall never lists another app's data, and leaves an app's settings alone if the app itself can't be moved.
- A clean that removes nothing no longer uses up your free cleanup.
Version 1.0.0
July 2026
The first public release. Getting started walks through the app.
