👋 Hi, I'm Om — built a CLI to catch bloat in node_modules

Hey Product Hunt! I'm Om, a developer who kept losing track of what was actually in my node_modules unused packages, deprecated ones, stuff I forgot I even installed.

So I built PkgDiet, a CLI that scans your deps and flags what's unused, bloated, or unhealthy:

npx pkgdiet

No dashboard, no config just a clean report.

PkgDiet — find the dead weight in your node_modules before it ships

Every project accumulates dependency bloat packages you installed once, forgot about, or replaced but never removed. I built PkgDiet to catch that before it costs you build time, bundle size, or a supply-chain risk you don't need.

Run npx pkgdiet in any Node project and it scans your dependency tree for:

  • Unused packages installed but never imported

  • Bloated packages heavy deps with lighter alternatives

  • Unhealthy packages unmaintained, deprecated, or flagged

It's a single CLI command, no config, no dashboard sign-up just a clean terminal report you can act on immediately.

Why I built PkgDiet

Found 3 quietly deprecated dependencies in my own project a

few weeks ago no warnings, just sitting there. That's the

whole reason this exists.
