CleanMyMac v5

A build-pinned patcher for CleanMyMac 5.7.1 on Apple Silicon. It corrects the native activation flag and uses separate app-group data to avoid the re-signing startup crash.

Supports build 50701.0.2609301754 only. Requires Python 3.9+ and Apple's command-line tools (clang). Intel, Rosetta, and other builds are unsupported.

Checked locally: normal launch, main interface, and activation menu. Every Pro feature has not been exhaustively verified; full scans require Full Disk Access.

Official MacPaw DMG · Source download

The official download may change versions; the patcher rejects mismatched builds. This repository ships patch source, not a modified app or DMG.

Paste this into your coding agent

Patch my installed CleanMyMac using https://github.com/devasheeshG/CleanMyMac-v5.
Clone the repo and read its README and patch.py. Find the installed app and run
python3 patch.py --app "/path/to/original.app" --check --json.
Only continue on native Apple Silicon when the version, build, and binary SHA-256
match. Never edit the fingerprint or reuse offsets for another version.
Back up the entire original app outside Applications and verify the backup.
Build a new copy with:
python3 patch.py --app "/path/to/original.app" --apply --output "/new/path/Patched.app"
Verify its signature, quit the running app, and install the copy at the original
app location while preserving the backup. Keep the original bundle identifier
and bundle name; renaming those can crash resource loading.
Launch normally and inspect the main window and real Pro feature access using
available UI tools or AppleScript/System Events. Ask before granting Full Disk
Access. Do not delete my files as a test, change system security protections, or
claim success from code signing or process survival alone. If a check fails,
restore the original app and report the exact failure.

Run directly

git clone https://github.com/devasheeshG/CleanMyMac-v5.git
cd CleanMyMac-v5
python3 patch.py --check
python3 patch.py --apply --output "$PWD/CleanMyMac patched.app"

The output must not already exist. The patcher builds and signs a separate copy; the agent handles backup, installation, and UI verification. Its local data adapter stores app-group data under ~/Library/Application Support/CleanMyMacPatched and does not retain vendor entitlements.

Based on chakravartiraj/CleanMyMacX and mwangaben/CleanMyMacX. Independent project; not an official MacPaw update.
