Room Service helps developers understand what is actually filling their Mac, then clean it with more confidence. From Xcode build data and package caches to Docker, generated folders, app leftovers, duplicates, and privacy traces, it turns scattered disk clutter into a workflow you can inspect, review, and act on without losing control.
Hey Product Hunt, I built Room Service after getting frustrated with how generic most Mac cleaners feel.
On my machine, the problem was never just “junk.” It was Xcode build data, package manager caches, Docker data, generated folders like node_modules and .venv, app leftovers, duplicates, privacy traces, shared game engine caches and logs, and a general lack of visibility into what was actually happening on disk. Most tools I tried either missed too much or reduced the whole experience to risky one click cleanup.
I wanted something that felt more transparent and more useful day to day. That is what Room Service became, a Mac cleaner built for developers, with a real home dashboard to keep disk usage and reclaimable space easy to follow, developer focused scan coverage, a review first cleanup workflow, a dedicated Performance workspace for live system metrics, Startup Item management, Applications and Leftovers cleanup, Privacy Mode, PIN protection, Touch ID support, Smart Alerts, Quarantine and Undo for safer deletes, and a shared desktop and CLI workflow.
The goal was not to make another generic cleaner. It was to build a cleanup tool that fits the way developer Macs actually fill up, and gives you enough visibility and control to trust what happens next.
Thanks for checking it out.

This seems perfect for Mac users! I’m not sure why, but every time I hit “Clean Up” after selecting all the junk files found in the scan, the app crashed 😔
Still, this feels like a long overdue app for Mac Users, and I’m excited to see where you take it.
Does it detect Xcode derived data automatically or do you need to point it to specific folders? Congrats on the launch!
Finally something that understands dev Macs are a different beast. My 512GB fills up fast between Xcode derived data, stale node_modules in forgotten projects, and Docker images I forgot about. The review-first approach is smart — I've been burned by cleaners that nuked things I actually needed. The CLI workflow is a nice touch too.
developer machines accumulate junk differently than regular users - node_modules alone can get out of hand fast. curious what the most common space hogs you find are. I am guessing it is a mix of build caches, old simulator runtimes, and abandoned Docker layers.
Yeah sorry not a fan of the illusion of a free tool and then when you want to actually use it you have are hit with a paywall... it should be UPFRONT/ transparent.
I wasted my time after getting all excited about a potentially cool new tool.
This gets a down vote in my book just because of that - even if the tool seems qualitative.
Most Mac cleaners just nuke browser caches, so seeing one that specifically targets abandoned node_modules and Xcode derived data is refreshing. Setting up automated weekly sweeps of dormant Docker images would be a killer use case for this. That alone would save me from having to do a manual disk space panic cleanup every few months.
Would love to hear your feedback if you end up trying it 🙏
Damn, the idea is great and the app overall is too. I scanned, found the files I wanted to delete, but the monetization style of "we'll hit you with a paywall on the last screen and block the actual action" is a killer. In the end, I just ran rm -rf on the files I needed, so thanks for that anyway!!
