Dustloft and the storage macOS forgot to explain

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

A free, open-source macOS utility that identifies what is hiding inside “System Data” and helps recover space without blindly deleting files.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-10 issue.

Field notes

The page presents both a curl-based installer and a downloadable DMG for Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. Its cleanup model uses three levels of friction: regenerable files are eligible for Quick Clean, administrator-protected items are grouped into one password prompt, and permanent material is never bulk-selected. The example inventory includes dependencies, Docker data, local AI models, and messaging media, while the safety rules specifically reject deleting .git directories.
