Discky, a Mac cleanup tool that shows its work
Discky scans a Mac for models, development caches, build folders, app leftovers, and other disk use, then offers removal through the tool that owns each item.
- For
- Mac users with development tools, AI models, or accumulated project files
- Worth noticing
- It reports allocated disk space rather than apparent file size, accounting for sparse images, APFS clones, hard links, and cloud-only iCloud files.
Field notes
The listed scan targets span local model stores, package-manager caches, project build directories, application leftovers, and large or old files in a home folder. The site says sizes reflect allocated disk space and account for sparse images, APFS clones, hard links, and cloud-only iCloud files. Installation is offered through Homebrew or downloadable packages; the site notes that Full Disk Access is needed for a complete scan.
