Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A macOS utility that maps a developer’s storage, identifies build caches and dependency folders by name, and offers guided cleanup.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-04 issue.

Field notes

DevCruft describes a concurrent APFS metadata scan that turns a Mac’s entire disk into a proportional map, then labels developer-specific storage rather than leaving folders as unexplained paths. Its coverage table names Xcode DerivedData, Docker VM storage, node_modules, Android images, SwiftPM, CocoaPods, Rust, Go, and Python caches, with example ranges reaching 120 GB for Docker. Cleanup previews classify paths as regenerable, replaceable, or irreplaceable, while the site says the last category is never offered for removal.
