Harbofly
Reclaim the GBs dev caches and LLM weights hide on your Mac
Harbofly is a free, open-source menu bar app (plus CLI) that finds the gigabytes dev tools hide: DerivedData, node_modules, Gradle, Homebrew caches, even LLM weights from Ollama, and frees them safely: risk tiers, Trash-first, source code never touched. It spots idle projects via your local git (warning about unpushed work), explains macOS "purgeable" space, auto-cleans on your terms for free, where alternatives charge $29, and speaks 6 languages. No account, no Pro plan, opt-in telemetry.
I'm Carlos, a mobile engineer with 15+ years of experience. My Mac kept hitting "No space left on device," and the culprit was never my files. It was tens of GB that dev tools quietly hoard: DerivedData, node_modules, Gradle caches, old simulators… and lately, LLM weights from Ollama and Hugging Face.
So I built Harbofly: a menu bar app that automatically finds it all, groups it by risk, and cleans it in one click. Trash-first, and your source code is never touched.
Since it's a tool that deletes files, trust is the whole product:
🟢 Explicit risk tiers, nothing risky is ever pre-selected
🌙 Idle-project detection from your local git, with a red warning if a forgotten project still holds uncommitted or unpushed work
🧹 Opt-in auto-clean (when Xcode quits, when disk runs low, daily/weekly), free, where alternatives charge $29 for this
💻 The same binary is a CLI: `harbofly scan`, `harbofly clean --dry-run`
🌍 6 languages, fully open source, no account, analytics only if you opt in
It's free forever. If it saves your disk, a coffee is always welcome ☕
I'd love your feedback: which caches am I still missing? And does 90 days feel like the right threshold for "idle"?
