A shell-based cleanup utility for macOS that frees disk space by clearing caches from Homebrew, npm, Yarn, pip, Docker, Xcode, and many applications. The project is deprecated and no longer maintained.
Use cases
- free up disk space on my mac
- clear homebrew and npm caches automatically
- clean up xcode derived data and ios simulator files
- remove dangling docker images and stopped containers
- empty trash and clear system log files on macos
- one-command cleanup of developer tool caches
When to choose
- you want a single script to reclaim disk space across many dev tools on macOS
- you prefer a simple bash utility over heavyweight cleaning apps
When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained tool - the project is deprecated
- you are not on macOS
- you want a GUI cleaner with previews and undo
