Privacy and practical limits
Storage analysis and scan records stay on your Mac. You choose which folders to authorise. Allocated size is an estimate and does not guarantee the amount of disk space recovered. Maintain independent backups before changing developer files.

Features in practice
The feature list describes the available tools. These examples explain how they support a practical workflow, what to review and where the limits matter.
Protect files that are costly to lose
Archives, symbols, simulator internals, source and uncertain items remain protected from routine cleanup. Pins let you retain findings that matter to your own workflow.
Review each eligible action
Read-only authorisation is the default. Cleanup requires a suitable read/write grant, explicit selection and fresh safety checks, including active developer-tool checks.
Keep evidence of the result
Compare compatible complete scans, inspect receipts and export reports. Verified archive copying retains the original. Finder recovery depends on the moved item still being available in Trash.
Use the compatibility, access and limitation information on this page when choosing a workflow. Sample screenshots illustrate the app; their records and measured results are not a scan of your own Mac.
