sasurahime — Cache Cleaner for Mac Dev
Effortless macOS developer cache cleaner written in Rust
Reclaim your macOS disk space. Effortlessly. As developers, our Macs quickly get clogged up with gigabytes of stale caches from Homebrew, Docker, Cargo, Xcode, and node_modules. Cleaning them manually is a pain. Meet sasurahime — a blazing-fast, interactive TUI (Terminal User Interface) tool built in Rust, designed to do one thing perfectly: get your disk space back safely. Safe by Default: Deleted files go straight to your macOS Trash (Finder-restorable).
I’m the creator of sasurahime, and I am incredibly excited to share it with you all today.
As a macOS developer, I was constantly hitting a wall with my disk space. Between heavy Docker layers, endless node_modules, Xcode’s massive DerivedData, and Cargo caches, my SSD was always screaming for help. I tried cleaning things manually, but keeping track of 40+ different tools and running separate commands every week felt like a chore.
I wanted a tool that was blazing fast, safe, and entirely keyboard-driven. Since I couldn't find exactly what I needed, I decided to build it myself in Rust.
That’s how sasurahime was born.
Here is what makes it special:
🦀 Built with Rust & Rayon: It scans your entire dev stack concurrently. It’s so fast that the total scan time is just limited by your slowest single cleaner.
🖥️ Interactive TUI: No more guessing games. You run sasurahime, preview how much space you'll save, and toggle targets with your spacebar.
🛡️ Safe by Default: I’m paranoid about breaking my dev environment. That’s why deleted files go directly to your macOS Trash (Finder-restorable), and pinned versions in mise are strictly protected.
🌸 A fun fact about the name:
Sasurahime is named after Hayasasurahi-me, a goddess of purification from Japanese Shinto mythology. She is said to receive all impurities and make them vanish without a trace—making her the perfect mascot for destroying stale dev caches!
It’s completely free and open-source. I’d love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or any feature requests you have.
Try running cargo install sasurahime and let me know in the comments: How many gigabytes did you manage to reclaim today? 💾✨
Thank you so much for your support!
Developer caches get huge surprisingly fast, but deleting the wrong thing is always a concern. A cleaner that explains what’s safe to remove would be genuinely useful.
