Spaceback Pro for Mac
Spaceback Pro is the edition of Spaceback we sell ourselves, outside the Mac App Store. It’s the same app with one difference that matters: it isn’t sandboxed, so it can also read the shared caches in /Library that the App Store edition isn’t allowed to open.
Two editions, one codebase
Both editions scan on your Mac and move only what you approve to the Trash. The difference is what each one is allowed to look at, and how you pay.
Spaceback/Library, outside your home folder.Not being sandboxed lets Spaceback Pro read more of your Mac. It doesn’t let it delete files that belong to macOS: those are protected, and for things like old simulator runtimes Spaceback points you to Apple’s own tools. It still leaves your Mail, Messages, Safari and Photos libraries alone, by name.
What one licence covers
Use it on your MacBook, your desktop and the next Mac you buy. No seat limit and no activation count.
New versions of Spaceback Pro arrive through its signed updater, at no extra cost. The licence doesn’t expire.
The licence is a signed key that Spaceback Pro checks on your Mac. When you activate it, the app asks our server once whether it has been refunded, and that’s all.
With a licence, Spaceback Pro removes duplicate files, photo clutter and app leftovers, cleans developer caches and old iOS backups, and runs scheduled scans that only ever find. Without one it works like Spaceback Free: every scanner and the Storage Map, and cleaning Downloads, large files and core junk. Removed files go to the Trash; macOS gets the space back when you empty it.
Before you buy
Download Spaceback Pro and run every scanner before you pay. If it doesn’t find anything worth your money, keep your money.
Checkout is run by our reseller, the merchant of record for your order, named on the checkout and your receipt. Your payment details go to them, never to us.
Open Spaceback Pro, go to Settings, and paste your licence into Activate Spaceback Pro.
No. An App Store purchase belongs to your Apple Account and only Apple can refund or transfer it. The direct licence is a separate purchase, for people who want the edition without the sandbox.
Ask within 14 days and you get a full refund, no questions asked. A refund deactivates the licence. The refunds page says how to ask.
Our reseller, the merchant of record for your order, named on the checkout and your receipt. It handles your payment details, the tax and the receipt. We receive your email address, country, order number and the amount, so we can deliver and support your licence. See the privacy policy.
Yes. The licence is checked on your Mac. Activation makes one request to see whether the licence was refunded, and if that request fails, Spaceback Pro keeps working.
