(Open-source) macOS Cleaner for transparent, safe cleanup
Most Mac cleaners work like a black box—you click "clean" and hope for the best. This one shows you exactly what it finds: file paths, sizes, and categories. You pick what goes, and everything moves to Trash. Terminal-based, open source.
I built mac-cleanup-go to make macOS disk cleanup transparent and safe.
You can see exactly what takes up space, review paths and sizes,
and choose what to delete before anything goes to Trash.
Happy to hear feedback or suggestions!
