What it does
Carbon Copy Cloner is advanced backup and copying software for macOS. Make bootable backups, schedule automated backups, take snapshots, and restore your Mac with confidence. Download a free 30-day trial.
"One size fits all" is not a custom fit. CCC backups are tailor-made. Restore a single file, copy one folder to another, recover your whole Mac, or migrate data to a new Mac. Need to migrate your external Photos disk to something bigger? CCC will do it faster and more reliably than the Finder. Schedule your backups hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, or when changes are detected. Restrict backups to running based on the day of week, hour of the day and you can even pause a backup and restart at a more convenient time. Precisely define what should and should not be backed up. You can visualize the effects of custom filter rules, and CCC will show how much data is going to be backed up.…from bombich.com

MultiDriveDec 2025 · multidrive.io · ▲467Hey HN! I'm the CTO at Atola Technology, and we have launched MultiDrive: a free disk backup/clone/wipe tool that does things differently.

All in all, we thought the community deserved better. What makes MultiDrive…
FreeUpMyMacJan 2026 · freeupmymac.com · ▲110Hey HN Ex YC/Google engineer turned indie maker here - excited to share something I just shipped. The System Data in my Mac was taking up 300GB and it took me months to figure out how to clear the old cache, logs, junk and more. And CleanMyMac is a subscription - I refuse to pay subscription fees for Mac apps that run locally. So I built FreeUpMyMac an offline, lifetime Mac cleaner that clear junk with 1 click. And helps you visualize your storage with TreeMap/Sunburst. Hope it’s helpful to you as it is for me. Would love your feedback Tunde
FileFillet2025 · filefillet.com · ▲176Hi HN, I’d like to share FileFillet, a macOS app I created to help organize files more quickly. By setting up your favorite folders, you can quickly access them while dragging files (or folders) for copy/move operations, eliminating the need to navigate through multiple Finder windows just to move a file from A to B.
