Clean Up Your Mac in Minutes

Reclaim 30-100 GB of disk space on your MacBook or iMac without deleting anything you actually need. FilePilot scans every folder, finds duplicates, identifies large unused files, and organizes Documents and Downloads into clean folders — all locally on your Mac with no cloud upload.

Why FilePilot

AI Cleanup Scan

FilePilot reads every file's content and metadata, then groups duplicates, near-duplicates, and large unused files. A typical 500 GB Mac scan finishes in 8-15 minutes on Apple Silicon.

Apple Silicon Native

Built for M1, M2, M3, and M4 chips. Uses Apple's filesystem APIs, runs fully offline, never touches iCloud Drive contents — only your local files.

Nothing Deleted Without You

Every cleanup suggestion is review-before-delete. FilePilot moves chosen files to a recoverable Cleanup folder for 30 days before permanent removal.

How FilePilot Works

  1. Install FilePilot. Download the macOS Apple Silicon .dmg from saferestorehelp.com. Drag to Applications. App is signed and notarized — no Gatekeeper warnings.
  2. Run a Cleanup Scan. Point FilePilot at your home folder, Downloads, or Desktop. The AI scan reads file content (not just names) to identify duplicates and clutter.
  3. Review & Reclaim. Browse the cleanup report — duplicates, large files, screenshots, old installers. Approve what you want gone. Files move to a 30-day recoverable folder.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this better than CleanMyMac or DaisyDisk?

Different focus. FilePilot is AI-driven and finds duplicates by reading file content (not just by name or hash) — it catches near-duplicates other tools miss, like the same photo at two resolutions or a doc edited slightly. It's $7.99 one-time vs CleanMyMac's $40/year subscription. For the bulk of disk space that's user files, FilePilot finds more.

Will it touch my iCloud Drive files?

FilePilot only reads files that are physically on your Mac. Cloud-only iCloud files (the ones with the download arrow icon) are skipped entirely. Files synced locally are scanned but the local copy is what's affected — your iCloud copy stays safe.

Does it work on Intel Macs or only Apple Silicon?

The current 0.1.2 build is Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4) only. Intel Mac support is in active development.

Will it slow my Mac down during scanning?

Scanning is throttled and yields to other apps. A typical 500 GB scan uses about 200 MB of RAM and 5-15% of one CPU core.

What if I delete something I need?

Anything FilePilot moves goes to a recoverable Cleanup folder for 30 days before permanent deletion. You can restore any file with one click during that window.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. Download FilePilot and run a free scan to see your full cleanup report — duplicates, large files, recommendations — before paying. The $7.99 unlocks the actual cleanup actions.
