Why users keep it
Built for fast, safe cleanup without extra learning cost.
The workflow focuses on speed and confidence so anyone can clean up storage safely.
Find Space Fast
Surface Xcode artifacts, Docker layers, app caches, logs, and large folders in one scan pass.
Review Before Action
Verify path, size, and modified time before cleanup so every deletion decision stays intentional.
Safer by Default
High-risk paths stay analysis-only by default to reduce accidental deletion in production setups.

How it works
Three steps from first scan to confident cleanup.
A predictable sequence helps you avoid mistakes and finish cleanup with confidence.
Scan
Run category scans to identify what consumes disk space and where it lives.
Review
Inspect size, path, and timestamp before selecting files to avoid costly mistakes.
Clean
Move selected files to Trash and keep a local record for verification.
Safety promises
Know exactly what the app protects before every cleanup.
Clear guardrails and real user feedback help you clean up space without anxiety.
Trust layer
The same safety model used in the macOS app UI.
The same safety model from the desktop app is reflected on the site: high-confidence cleanup paths and explicit protection badges for risky directories.
Default Trash-first action
Selected files are moved to Trash by default. The app does not run permanent deletion during normal cleanup.
High-risk paths are read-only by default
Mail, Messages, and application data stay analysis-only until an advanced user explicitly enables cleanup.
Local audit log is always written
Every cleanup attempt is appended to the local cleanup audit log with timestamp, path, and result.
“We replaced manual cleanup checklists with a safer flow our entire studio can use.”
