Free space at a glance, and one click to clear what's safe to clear.
The Mac cleaner for developers
Your dev tools left 100+ GB behind.
DevCleanup finds what node_modules, simulators, toolchains, Docker, AI models and agent worktrees leave on your Mac, and shows the space you'd actually get back.

Worktrees
AI coding agents make a worktree for every task. Nobody cleans them up.
Each agent run checks out a full copy of your repo, often with its own node_modules and build output. On the founder's Mac, the agents' worktrees looked like this:
of apparent size across git worktrees, before DevCleanup counted what was really on disk.
- Finds every git worktree under the folders you choose, including ones agents create.
- Flags uncommitted and unpushed work, and leaves it unselected.
- Removes them the proper way, with
git worktree remove.
The tour
One app for every place dev tools hoard space.
Each screen scans in one to five seconds and only selects things that can be rebuilt or re-downloaded.
Projects you stopped touching
node_modules, build folders, Pods, Rust target, .venv, .next and .turbo caches, Unity and Godot caches. Projects untouched for 30+ days are flagged, and Package Advisor estimates what switching to pnpm would save.
And the rest of your Mac
Everything a disk cleaner should do, minus the drama.
Automatic cleanup rules
Pick what to clean and how often. DevCleanup handles it in the background and logs every run.

History
Every cleanup is logged, with how to get it back.
Trash viewer
See what's in the Trash, fast. Put Back works.
Uninstaller
Remove apps along with the leftovers they scatter.
System Data, explained
Local Time Machine snapshots and old iOS backups, the usual reasons "System Data" is huge.
Smart Clean, Large & Old Files
Caches and logs in one pass, plus the big files you forgot about.
Honest numbers
Real space, not apparent size.
Most cleaners add up file sizes. On a developer Mac that double counts a lot, so they promise space you never get back.
APFS clones share blocks
A cloned file looks like a full copy to anything that adds up sizes, but deleting it frees almost nothing.
pnpm uses hard links
Every project links into one store. Count each project separately and you count the same package many times.
DevCleanup counts each block once
Sizes you see are what deleting would actually give back. The Overview total doesn't double count either.
Space you can free in agent worktrees
Typical cleaner (adds up file sizes)48.2 GB
DevCleanup (real space you get back)11.6 GB
Illustrative: one repo, six worktrees, dependencies installed with pnpm. The 36.6 GB difference was never on your disk.
CLI & Raycast
Lives in your terminal, too.
The devcleanup command scans and reports from any shell or script. Pro adds the clean commands, with --dry-run on every one.
- Same scanner and the same real-space numbers as the app.
- A Raycast extension for free space and Quick Clean from the launcher.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
It's the space deleting something would actually free. Data shared between APFS clones and hard links (pnpm's store, for example) is counted once, so the totals don't promise space you'd never get back.
See what your dev tools left behind.
Scanning is free. Most developer Macs have tens of gigabytes waiting.
