Installations that finished onboarding before the Free and Pro manual-cleanup split can keep their earlier manual cleanup and custom-folder access. Auto Clean, Smart Triggers, and archiving still need Pro. Details are in existing Free installations.
What the trial does
Start the trial from Settings, then License, or from the Pro paywall. One trial per Mac. It asks for an email. It does not by itself start a paid subscription or cause a charge. When it ends, Safe cleanup and restore keep working. Deep cleanup, custom folders, automation, and archiving need Pro, apart from retained legacy manual access.
What you are buying
Yearly is $19.99/year and renews until you cancel. Cancel a renewal as described in the refund policy.
Lifetime is a one-time $59 license. It does not renew. “Lifetime” means no subscription renewal. It does not promise that every online service exists forever. That wording is in the license agreement.
Each paid key works on up to 3 Macs you own. If online checks fail, Pro can keep working for 14 days after the last successful validation.
What stays free
- A full scan of supported developer tools and AI apps
- Quick Clean and manual clean of built-in Safe categories
- Seeing Ghost Projects and Project Artifacts
- Restoring any project archived with DevCleaner
Automation only touches Safe caches. It does not bypass the safety ratings. Read what Pro includes and how the safety labels work.
