What can’t come back asks first.
Photo libraries, virtual machines, app data, mail, git repositories, password vaults. They’re named, the reason is spelled out, and nothing moves until you say so.
Your Mac keeps everything: installers you ran once, build folders from finished projects, caches, exports you sent and forgot. Vapour Cleaner shows you exactly what they are, then turns them into vapour.
These are files from the app’s demo Mac, newest first. The longer since they were opened, the fainter they get.
A demo on this page. Nothing on your Mac is touched.
Folders appear as the scan finds them. Heavy ones glow; caches and build output show up stained while it’s still reading.
Every file and folder is rated before you ever see a Vapourise button, following Apple’s guidance and long-standing Mac practice.
Photo libraries, virtual machines, app data, mail, git repositories, password vaults. They’re named, the reason is spelled out, and nothing moves until you say so.
Vapourising moves things to the Trash. Until you empty it, every item can come back.
The system, Keychains and SSH keys are never touched. Your main folders can only be cleaned from inside.
No subscription, no account. The licence is checked on your Mac, offline.

Age only puts a file on the list. You decide what goes, anything that can’t be rebuilt asks first, and everything goes to the Trash before it’s gone for good. Keep a Time Machine backup anyway.
Caches apps rebuild on their own, logs, Xcode data, project build output (node_modules, .build, target, Pods, .venv), package downloads, and the big files you pick from Space or Forgotten.
No. Vapour Cleaner is $9.99 once, with no subscription. Before you buy, try the vapour above and see every screen of the real app in the tour.
No. The app makes no network requests at all. See the privacy notes.
macOS hides some folders, like Mail or other apps’ caches, unless you allow it. Without it the app still works; it just sees less.
