RepoSweep
Reclaim developer disk space without breaking projects
RepoSweep is a safe Mac cleaner for developers. Scan project folders, find node_modules, build caches, logs, and generated files, then move selected items to Trash. RepoSweep scans project folders, developer caches, and Downloads for disposable build outputs, dependencies, and test artifacts. It verifies project context and Git status, explains why each match is safe, revalidates before cleanup, and only moves items to macOS Trash.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I built RepoSweep after repeatedly finding huge `node_modules`, build folders, test outputs, and developer caches across old projects—and still hesitating before deleting them. A generic disk cleaner can tell me a folder is large, but not whether it belongs to a real project, whether Git tracks it, or how I can regenerate it.
RepoSweep adds that missing context. It detects the project ecosystem, checks Git status, labels every candidate by safety and confidence, explains the evidence, and revalidates the item just before cleanup. Nothing is permanently deleted: selected items only go to macOS Trash.
Scanning and reviewing are free without limits. The $12 early-adopter license reveals exact locations and unlocks cleanup across all your personal Macs and every v1.x update. There is no account, subscription, telemetry, or cloud upload.
One transparent early-access note: the current build is not yet notarized by Apple, so first launch needs one extra approval in System Settings. That is why early adopters get $7 off; the price becomes $19 when the notarized build ships, and existing v1.x licenses remain valid.
I would especially love feedback on two things:
1. Which developer ecosystem or disposable artifact should RepoSweep support next?
2. What evidence would make you feel confident enough to clean a generated folder?
