About Pearcleaner
Pearcleaner is an app cleaner for macOS. When you remove an app, it finds the related files the app left behind elsewhere on the system and removes them together with the app.
It includes a Finder extension and a helper component, and the source is published under a fair-code license rather than an open-source one. The developer states that https://itsalin.com is the only legitimate website, and that other sites offering downloads are not affiliated.
