CleanMyMac Adds Gmail and Chrome Cleanup Tools
MacPaw's new Email Cleanup and Browser Care features target Gmail clutter and Chrome tab memory use for active CleanMyMac subscribers.
Updated on Nov. 5, 2026 in Home Cleaning
MacPaw has released two new CleanMyMac features, Email Cleanup for Gmail and Browser Care for Google Chrome, rolling out to users with an active subscription. Email Cleanup lets users bulk-delete messages, unsubscribe from mailing lists, and review emails by sender, category, year, or attachment size.
Why it matters
The additions extend CleanMyMac beyond local Mac storage into cloud email and browser performance, areas where storage and memory use build up unnoticed. Users keep control of all changes, since Email Cleanup requires confirmation and Browser Care acts only when the user chooses.
Email Cleanup targets Gmail and identifies messages consuming storage shared across Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Photos. Browser Care is designed for Google Chrome and works through a Chrome extension connected to CleanMyMac.
The players
MacPaw
MacPaw is a Ukrainian software company best known for its CleanMyMac utility for macOS maintenance and optimization.
The details
Browser Care flags Chrome tabs that consume memory or create clutter and can pause resource-intensive tabs, with near real-time memory usage displayed. Page content, titles, and browsing history remain stored locally on the Mac.

Seasonal Patterns
Browser Care operates within Chrome's per-tab process model, which Google introduced to isolate tabs so that one memory-heavy page does not crash the whole browser. Third-party tools that suspend or close tabs are a recurring response to that model's memory footprint.
Subscribers can clear Gmail backlogs and reduce Chrome memory use without manually reviewing each email or tab. Because every change requires user confirmation, the tools shift cleanup decisions to the reader while cutting time spent on routine digital housekeeping.
The takeaway
Reviewing your inbox and open Chrome tabs once a week keeps both storage and memory use manageable. Built-in controls like unsubscribe links and tab-closing shortcuts can handle much of that work before adding third-party tools.
