“the must-have app for every Mac!”
A lightweight, troubleshooting and security app for Macs to help find and remove adware, malware, keyloggers, and other unwanted programs.
It doesn’t install any kernel extensions or privileged helper daemons, and it is free to use for everyone (no ads, no subscriptions, and no data collection!).
WHAT PEOPLE SAY:
“As an author of a Mac eBook for newbies, I have a chapter where I recommend DetectX…Thanks for the great little app. Glad to support it!” View…
“Awesome little app, lightweight and does the job well. The best part is that it doesn’t install persistent, constantly running file scanners like other AV apps. Definitely recommended for someone who installs a lot of apps outside the App Store.” View…
“super poweful tool, works super fast” View…
“Remove MacKeeper - The easy way!” View…

What is DetectX Swift?
Let’s start with what it isn’t: it’s not an AV Scanner that wastes your system resources scanning harmless files. It’s not a ‘clean up’ app that pretends to speed up or improve your mac’s performance, and it’s not an uninstaller or app remover for other apps that leave around file litter.
It is, rather, a lightweight, on-demand dedicated search and troubleshooting tool, probably the fastest of its kind, that can identify malware, adware, keyloggers, potentially unwanted apps and potentially destabilising apps on a mac. It can also help you (or us, if you consult us), to identify unknown and novel threats through its Profiler and History functions.
