Meowtenance: The Mac Cleaner That Leaves Your Packages Alone
A Mac cleanup utility for developers that finds caches, simulator data, and app junk while protecting Swift Package checkouts.
Field notes
The utility separates regenerable Xcode build output from Swift Package checkouts that would need to be fetched again, including the shared cache in ~/Library/Caches. Its scan also treats simulator devices differently from cleanable simulator data: deleting a device removes the whole device, while other categories can be reviewed more selectively. The page says deletion is verified by measuring folders afterward and reports when a running application prevented a complete cleanup.
