r/BestGitHubRepos — PureMac: Free, open-source macOS cleaner, CleanMyMac alternative with zero telemetry (7.4k stars) by u/company-url-finder

NOT an author announcement: posted by repo-spam account company_url_finder ~6.5 months after repo creation, so 'launch' credit belongs to GitHub/organic growth. Body is a README quote plus a stats table (7,420 stars, 428 forks, v3.2.0 of 2026-10-24, 29 contributors, AI contributor accounts @claude with 14 commits and @cursoragent with 4) and ends with a plug for the poster's own repo-newsletter. Zero comments captured at archive time.

Free, open-source Mac care: cleanup, app management, storage exploration, and system checks. No subscription or telemetry. — Virtue
