About MacPaw
What does MacPaw do?
MacPaw builds tools to clean, optimize, and protect Apple devices. Its flagship product, CleanMyMac X, has been downloaded over 30 million times and helps users free up disk space, remove malware, and improve performance. The Setapp subscription bundles over 240 apps for a flat monthly fee, covering productivity, design, and utilities.
Who is it for?
MacPaw is for Mac and iPhone users who want to maintain device health, declutter storage, and streamline app management. It's ideal for power users looking for a curated app collection via Setapp, and IT admins managing small fleets of Macs. It is not suited for users who prefer manual system management or who need enterprise-scale deployment tools.
Real use cases
Freelancers use CleanMyMac X to quickly reclaim disk space before big projects. Creative professionals rely on Setapp for access to apps like Ulysses and Spark without individual purchases. Small business owners use the malware scanner (Moonlock) to secure multiple Macs.
