‘Pearcleaner’ for Mac Offers a Streamlined Way to Uninstall Apps
Uninstalling applications on a Mac is simple, in theory: Just drag the icon from the Finder to the trash. In practice, though, doing that leaves files behind—caches and other hidden things can take up hundreds or even thousands of precious megabytes. Pearcleaner is a free and open source application that can find such files and delete them while you’re uninstalling software.
There are other applications out there for this—we’ve talked about AppCleaner in the past, for example. I prefer Pearclearer, on balance, because of its easy-to-understand user interface and a few advanced settings I haven’t seen elsewhere.
To get started, simply install the application and open it. You’ll see a list of all the software you’ve installed in the left panel—you can even see how much space each app is taking up. Click any app and you’ll see a list of files or folders related to that app.

Everything is checked by default, but you could optionally decide to keep some things around if you know what you’re doing. For example, if you’re deleting a game but might want to play it later, you could keep the saved files around. It’s nice to have the flexibility. You can also use an application like this to set an app to the factory settings: Just delete every file except the application itself. In most cases that should wipe all settings, allowing you to start over—I’ve fixed a few broken applications this way.
You don’t have to rely on the list; you can drag any application to the Pearclean window to see more options. This is useful if an application you store outside the usual folders isn’t showing up, though you can also optionally add folders for Pearcleaner to look at in the settings.
Speaking of the settings, there are a few things worth enabling in there. If you install Mac software using Homebrew, there is an optional integration that will clean up Homebrew-related settings for the apps you delete. There’s also an optional Finder extension, which allows you to right-click an application in order to uninstall it using Pearcleaner.

I freed up a bunch of space on my device by opening this application and deleting a few large applications I don’t user anymore. Give it a shot—I bet you’ll find some space too.

Use the ‘5-4-3-2-1 Method’ to Pack for Summer Travel
Packing for a trip can be overwhelming, to say the least. Trying to imagine everything you’ll need when you arrive at your destination is difficult, and while it might be easy to remember things like contact lenses and phone chargers, planning the outfits you’ll wear all week can be a true struggle. If that sounds like you, try using a 5-4-3-2-1 packing method to simplify things the next time you go away.
What is the 5-4-3-2-1 packing method?
The 5-4-3-2-1 packing method is supposed to eliminate the need for pondering your outfits and looks on vacation, but what you actually pack depends on who you ask. Luggage purveyor Carl Friedrik, for instance, suggests following this model for a week-long trip:
-
Five shirts
-
Four pants or shorts
-
Three accessories (like hats or sunglasses)
-
Two pairs of shoes (one comfy and one for going out)
-
One swimsuit
Over at Apartment Therapy, however, they believe in a framework like this:
-
Five tops
-
Four bottoms
-
Three dresses or rompers and three pairs of shoes
-
Two swimsuits and two bags
-
One of each kind of accessory
So the idea varies from person to person and situation to situation. Personally, when I’m going on vacation, I pack a swimsuit for every day I’ll be there. If I were the kind of person who, say, hiked or did outdoor activities on vacation, I’d need more tops and shorts, but fewer accessories.
How to make your perfect 5-4-3-2-1 packing list
The goal here isn’t to stick to the exact same plan as someone else, but to think about what you have planned for the trip and how you can minimize what you pack. Jot down all the activities you have on your itinerary. If you have three fancy dinners, you’ll need three nice outfits, but if you have three days of sightseeing, you’ll need three comfortable and functional ones.
Prioritize packing the highest number of things related to what you’ll do the most of. There’s your “five.” What you’ll do the least of obviously requires fewer clothing items, so pack less of those. You want to set hard limits on how much of each category you pack so you’re not over-packing, which will waste space and make you less organized when you get there. Sticking to a 5-4-3-2-1 methodology that matches your itinerary will put you in a more organized headspace.
Once you’ve created your list and set your guidelines, stick to them by using bag organizers. A set like this features organizers of different sizes, so you can put your “five” items in the larger one and so on:
Again, the goal here isn’t to follow the rules exactly how someone else does, but to create rules for yourself when packing so you stay organized and have everything you need (and nothing you don’t need) when you get where you’re going.
