Washing Machine is a security and privacy app for the Mac. It allows you to scan for files that compromise your privacy and the overall security of your Mac and then delete them.
Washing Machine can find and delete bookmarks, browser caches, cookies, download histories and browsing histories.
There are two features that make Washing Machine an ideal app for this task. The first one is scheduling, which allows you to carry out scanning and cleaning tasks while you are not on the computer, or, well, automatically, regardless of whether you are on the computer or not. The second feature deals with secure deletion of files. Basically, this means that the application will delete files in a way that they won't be recoverable using data forensics software.
