Disk Headroom, the Mac cleaner that refuses the big red button

Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A local macOS utility that scans conservative junk folders and unused apps, then lets you review selected files before moving them to Trash.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-02 issue.

Field notes

The cleanup workflow separates discovery from deletion: the app proposes groups, leaves higher-risk developer leftovers unchecked, and sends only selected items to the system Trash. The page specifically names Homebrew and package caches alongside Xcode, Android, and Docker artifacts, and describes a menu bar entry for starting scans. It also identifies the project as MIT-licensed and provides a DMG download plus GitHub Releases link.
