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?
The git status check before trashing anything is a nice touch, makes it feel less reckless than other cleaners I've tried.
The git status check before trashing anything is genuinely thoughtful, so many "cleaner" tools just nuke your work. Loving how clean the safety explanations look too.
the git status check before trashing anything is genuinely thoughtful, way less scary than my usual rm -rf node_modules ritual.
The git status check before trashing is a nice touch, gives real peace of mind compared to other cleaners that just nuke whatever looks big. Reclaiming 40gb from old node_modules felt almost too easy.
How does it handle monorepos with shared node_modules across multiple workspaces, and does it actually verify the package isn't symlinked somewhere else before trashing it?
Love that it checks git status before trashing anything, that alone makes it feel way safer than the typical cleaner apps that nuke half your project.
The safety checks here are genuinely thoughtful, especially the revalidation pass before hitting Trash. Way too many cleaners just nuke whatever looks old.
