DevCleaner 1.8.0 - now cleans up your AI coding tools too
DevCleaner is a macOS menu bar app that finds and clears the gigabytes your dev tools quietly hoard - build caches, logs, temp files, old SDKs. Version 1.8.0 is our biggest scanner expansion yet, built around how developers actually work in 2026.
🏠 AI coding tools, covered. New scanners for Claude Code (telemetry, backups, memory logs), Cursor CLI (browser logs, AI tracking, project metadata, saved plans), Codex CLI, and Cline - the tools flooding your home folder with data you never asked to keep.
📚 Deeper IDE cleanup. JetBrains IDEs now cover Application Support caches, logs, and search indexes. Android Studio adds SDK download staging and emulator/system-image cleanup. Plus a new Developer Logs scanner spanning Simulator, Xcode, Docker, Homebrew, VS Code, and Node.js.
🔧 Xcode & Android go deeper. Component download staging, internal dt.Xcode caches, simulator caches, Gradle daemon logs, and SDK download intermediates.
🦀 Rust, Go & Flutter. Registry sources, rustup temp files, linter caches, and Dart's analysis server cache all get picked up.
💿 A proper installer. The .dmg now has a custom DevCleaner-branded background instead of a bare Finder window.
If your Mac is full of "developer tools" you can't explain, DevCleaner is built to find out why. Free to try, Pro from $9.99/year or $29 lifetime for first 50 early birds.

I like that DevCleaner now supports modern coding tools. Have you considered showing safe cleanup previews first to build more user confidence?

@advin_jadis DevCleaner's support for various developer tools is constantly expanding, and I'd be happy to add anything else that might be useful to you. And regarding your question: The "review before deletion" feature to build trust is already implemented, if we're talking about the same thing.
The deeper support for Xcode, Android Studio, and JetBrains IDEs really stands out. Those caches can grow quietly over time, so this should help a lot of developers reclaim storage.

@amarnath_kumar3 Thanks, glad that stood out! Those caches really do creep up silently - Xcode alone can quietly eat 10+ GB between simulators, derived data and old device support files. Let me know if you run into anything it misses on your setup.
Will you support custom cleanup rules so every user can choose exactly what stays and what goes?
