What is Neatwise?
Neatwise is a macOS storage utility published by Nuanyue. It scans your disk and visualises what is using space, groups the junk files that accumulate over time — caches, logs and temporary files — so they can be reviewed in one pass, and surfaces your largest files so you can decide what to keep. It is a paid, Mac-only app listed at $9.99 on the Mac App Store, and it requires macOS 26.5 or later.

- macOS only — there is no Windows or Linux version.Developer-stated
- Paid up front at $9.99 rather than free with an in-app upgrade.
- Nuanyue publishes both this app and this directory, so this page is a product listing rather than an independent review.Editorially reviewed

Why there is no comparison page
Nuanyue publishes both Neatwise and this directory. Head-to-head pages on this site are built only from verified attributes with no scores or winners, but a comparison between a publisher’s own product and a competitor is still framed by the publisher, so none is published for first-party apps. The relationships below link to the same apps that a comparison would cover.

Alternatives to Neatwise
Apps that could replace this one — the same job, a different trade-off.
CleanMyMac
Mac maintenance suite: cleanup, uninstall, malware scan.
Both scan a Mac for reclaimable space, but CleanMyMac automates cleanup as a subscription suite while Neatwise reviews junk with you.
DaisyDisk
Visual disk usage analyser with a one-time licence.
Both visualise what is using disk space and leave deletion to you; DaisyDisk focuses on the disk map, Neatwise also groups junk files.
GrandPerspective
Visualize disk usage with tree maps.
Both map disk usage, but GrandPerspective is free and open source with a treemap view and no cleanup grouping.
Similar apps
Related in purpose, but not a straight swap.
AppCleaner
Thoroughly uninstall apps.
Both remove files an app leaves behind, but AppCleaner targets application leftovers specifically rather than whole-disk cleanup.
OnyX
System maintenance utility for cleanup, verification, and hidden settings.
Both perform Mac maintenance, but Onyx is a free system-tuning tool rather than a storage analyser.
