Intuitive Drag & Drop
Drop any .app file from Finder or the Dock. KaCam resolves the Bundle ID and executes multi-threaded scanning in milliseconds.
Drag and drop applications to remove them and purge gigabytes of residual junk hidden in ~/Library (caches, sandboxing containers, and LaunchAgents daemons) with 100% local execution and zero telemetry.
Engineered natively in Swift and SwiftUI to maximize Apple Silicon speed with a near-zero memory footprint.
Drop any .app file from Finder or the Dock. KaCam resolves the Bundle ID and executes multi-threaded scanning in milliseconds.
Detects and halts background startup daemons in ~/Library/LaunchAgents to prevent phantom background processes draining your battery.
Resolves symbolic links prior to scanning, safeguarding your folders in ~/Documents or /System against accidental deletion.
Zero destructive rm -rf commands. Files are moved to the macOS Trash, allowing you to use "Put Back" whenever required.
Blocks by design any attempt to remove Safari, Finder, Terminal, or core components shielded by macOS System Integrity Protection (SIP).
No tracking servers and no telemetry harvesting your installed apps. All analysis executes strictly in local RAM.
Dragging to Trash from Finder only removes the binary, leaving gigabytes of orphaned data on your drive.

Quick instructions to mount the DMG and configure Gatekeeper and Full Disk Access permissions.
Open the downloaded KaCam_Installer.dmg file. Drag the KaCam.app icon into the Applications folder and eject the volume.
If macOS says "is damaged" or blocks launch (standard protection for unnotarized web apps):
xattr -cr /Applications/KaCam.app
Or navigate to System Settings → Privacy & Security and click "Open Anyway".
To scan ~/Library/Caches: navigate to System Settings → Privacy & Security → Full Disk Access and enable the toggle for KaCam.
Drag any app into the KaCam window, review detected residues, and click delete. Files are safely relocated to your macOS Trash.
Subjected to synthetic path traversal and injection stress tests to guarantee macOS system integrity.
By downloading, installing, launching, or using KaCam, you ("User") agree to be legally bound by these Terms and Conditions of Use. If you disagree with any terms, please do not install or use the Application.
1. License Grant: The Developer grants the User an individual, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and royalty-free license to utilize KaCam solely for personal, private purposes on Apple Silicon hardware owned or directly operated by the User.
2. Restrictions:
1. Purpose: KaCam is a system maintenance utility for macOS designed to assist with thorough uninstallation of applications and detection of associated residual data (caches, preferences, containers, and startup LaunchAgents).
2. System Permissions: To scan ~/Library, the Application requires the User to manually grant Full Disk Access in macOS System Settings.
3. Safe Trash Mechanism: By design, KaCam never runs irreversible deletion commands (rm -rf). Selected files are moved to the standard macOS Trash, permitting complete recovery through the native "Put Back" function.
1. Verification: The User retains full responsibility to inspect and confirm all selected items prior to authorizing removal.
2. Provided "As-Is": The Application is supplied "as-is", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied.
All processing runs strictly in local hardware memory on your Apple Silicon chip. KaCam does not harvest, store, or transmit any analytics, telemetry, or personal data to remote servers.
File system traversal across ~/Library/Caches, ~/Library/Containers, and ~/Library/LaunchAgents executes strictly on your local Apple Silicon cores.
The application never opens network sockets or transmits installed application metadata over the internet.
Recovered space statistics remain entirely local on your Mac (UserDefaults) and can be cleared at any time with a single click.
