From scan to decision

A clearer way to review the apps on your Mac

AppAudit helps you move from scattered app clutter to a more organized review process, so you can see what is installed, understand what matters, and decide what to keep, revisit, or remove.

    Start by building a clear inventory of the apps on your Mac. AppAudit brings installed applications into one place so you can review them more easily than a manual Finder walk-through.

  • Spot what needs attention

    Review duplicate apps, outdated installs, architecture details, and notices that help you see which apps may deserve a closer look before cleanup or migration.

  • Organize your decisions

    Use notes, lists, search, sorting, and filters to work through what you want to keep, review, reinstall, or remove without losing track of your plan.

  • Go deeper when you need to

    Unlock AppAudit Pro for advanced inspection, export tools, comparison workflows, and richer review features when your inventory needs a more detailed audit.
