## What it is
A macOS application that cleans unwanted and deprecated files from Xcode installations to free disk space and speed up Xcode. Originally built with react-native-macos, with a newer SwiftUI version available.

## Use cases
- free up disk space taken by Xcode caches and old simulators
- clean deprecated files from Xcode developer folder
- make Xcode run faster by removing cruft
- schedule periodic Xcode cleanup weekly or monthly
- find what is safe to delete in DerivedData and archives

## When to choose
- you develop with Xcode on macOS and your SSD is filling up
- you want a GUI app instead of manual xcrun cleanup commands
- you want an App Store-distributed cleaner

## When to avoid
- you do not use Xcode or macOS
- you need actively maintained software - the last release was 2019
- you need a cross-platform or command-line cleanup tool

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: maintenance
- function: developer-tools, file-system
- domain: developer-tools, operating-systems, apple-ecosystem
- platform: -
