Clear Rectangle Cache on Mac
To clear the cache, remove the contents of the dedicated Caches folder in your system library. This process recovers a small amount of storage within the typical 10 MB – 100 MB data footprint.

Rectangle cache folders you can clear
These folders are rebuilt automatically, so removing them does not touch your own files.
Locations are the standard macOS folders Rectangle uses; some appear only after you use the matching feature.
Understanding the Rectangle cache
Specific to Rectangle
The cache folder specifically holds data related to update checks. Clearing it helps if the app fails to detect new updates or behaves inconsistently during version checks. Because this folder is rebuilt automatically, it is safe to empty.
Results after clearing Rectangle
Once removed, the app will recreate the update check cache upon its next run. You will not be signed out because the app manages settings via a preference file. Your window shortcuts and snapping settings remain intact since they reside elsewhere.
