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!
Love this! I like how easy and lightweight it is - I usually use CleanMyMac but it's nice to have something terminal-based. Congrats on the launch!
Congrats on the launch! Love the transparent, TUI-style approach to Mac cleanup—showing paths and sizes and only moving to Trash feels so much safer than black-box cleaners.
