Hi everyone 👋 I am the developer of Cacheless. The problem: Whenever my disk is full, I open a cleanup tool, but most tools only show the scanned file size and select some cached items by default. But that's not the real issue—the real problem is not knowing which files can be safely deleted. Therefore, I built Cacheless to focus on solving this problem: • AI will explain the purpose of the folder. • Which software generated it? • Can it be safely removed? The goal is not to build another "cleanup tool," but a product you can actually trust. I'd love to hear your feedback 🙌

@lessimore Congrats on the launch! 🎉 The “explain what this folder actually is” angle is genuinely useful — that’s always been the missing piece with cleanup tools. One question I’d love an answer on before trying it: what’s the privacy story when the AI is scanning all my files? Does file path or content data get sent to an external API to generate those explanations, or is the AI running fully on-device? As a developer with sensitive project files and credentials on my Mac, knowing whether anything leaves the machine is a dealbreaker question. If it’s fully local that’s a huge selling point worth shouting from the rooftop.

@lessimore The risk-labeling system has been missing from Mac cleaners.Since AI analysis is done using only file paths without uploading file contents, how does Cacheless handle ambiguous or custom-named cache directories that don’t follow conventional naming patterns?

Does Ai actually decide what’s safe to delete or does it ask you everything?

@anusuya_bhuyan AI helps explain what files are, which app created them, and why they exist. You decide whether to mark them for deletion.

I have never had a Mac cleaner. Could you tell me why exactly we need Mac cleaners?

The insight buried in this launch is worth naming clearly. Most cleanup tools hand you a file size and a delete button. The anxiety of not knowing what's safe to remove is exactly why people avoid the problem until it's urgent. Cacheless goes after the root cause, not the symptom.

The AI explanation layer is what makes this different. Understanding which software generated a folder and whether it's safe to delete turns a stressful guessing game into an informed decision. That's a trust problem solved, not just a storage problem.

The positioning angle is strong too. A cleanup tool you can actually trust is doing real work in one sentence. It signals what every alternative gets wrong without naming them. That kind of contrast-driven framing tends to land fast with users who've been burned before.

Excited to see where this goes.
