- Mac developers with space-hungry local toolchains

- It says projects with uncommitted Git changes or running dev servers are skipped, and files in use are identified rather than cleaned.
Field notes
The page describes scans of the home folder, including hidden directories, with results grouped into categories such as Node, Xcode, Docker, and AI models. Each cleanup plan lists individual items and an estimated total; the page says projects with uncommitted Git changes or running development servers are skipped. It also describes an activity log and a saved index that follows filesystem events to speed up rescans.
