- Mac users with developer tools and project leftovers
- Worth noticing
- The page says cleanup candidates are checked again just before they move, and each result is recorded in History.
Field notes
The site separates measurement from cleanup: scanning is read-only, and users can inspect categories such as Docker images, Xcode DerivedData, package caches, and editor workspace storage. Its described scanner stays on one volume, counts hard links once, and does not follow symbolic links. The browser walkthrough uses sample data; the page says cleanup in the app moves reviewed paths to Trash and records each item’s result in History.
