# Crufti > Crufti is a native macOS app that finds and removes the leftover files an app leaves behind when you uninstall it — the caches, preferences, and support files macOS keeps in ~/Library after the .app bundle is gone. Its Space tab shows what is using space in your Home folder and moves the items you choose to the Trash. It can also turn selected items into a ready-made prompt for an AI assistant, and on macOS 27 an optional Ask Apple Intelligence button rates each item Safe, Careful, or Keep using Apple's Private Cloud Compute. It is sandboxed, performs no network activity of its own (the Apple Intelligence check runs only when you press it), and is sold on the Mac App Store. ## Pages - [Home](https://crufti.app/index.md): What Crufti does, how leftover cleanup works, features, FAQ, and pricing. - [Blog](https://crufti.app/blog.md): Guides on uninstalling Mac apps completely and where macOS hides leftover files. - [Privacy Policy](https://crufti.app/privacy.md): What Crufti can access (nothing leaves your Mac unless you press Ask Apple Intelligence) and how data is handled. - [Terms of Service](https://crufti.app/terms.md): License terms and refunds (handled by Apple as merchant of record). ## Blog - [Clearing Safari History on iPad: A Complete 2026 Guide](https://crufti.app/blog/clearing-safari-history-on-ipad.md): Master clearing Safari history on iPad with steps for time-based deletes, data removal, and privacy settings that protect your browsing. - [Why Is My Safari So Slow: Causes and Fixes for Mac](https://crufti.app/blog/why-is-my-safari-so-slow.md): Wondering why is my Safari so slow on Mac?
