DevCleanup - The Mac cleaner for developers

by•
DevCleanup finds what your dev tools leave behind: node_modules, Xcode DerivedData and simulators, Docker, local AI models, old toolchains and agent worktrees. It shows the real space you'd get back and cleans it safely. Native, fast, private. Free to scan.

Hey Product Hunt 👋 I built DevCleanup because my Mac kept running out of space and the usual cleaners didn't understand developer junk. They'd clear browser caches while 40 GB of old iOS simulators and a pile of forgotten node_modules sat untouched. DevCleanup is a native Mac app (about 7 MB) that knows where dev tools hide gigabytes: • node_modules and build folders across all your projects • Xcode DerivedData, old simulators and runtimes • Docker images and build cache • Ollama and Hugging Face models you stopped using • Old toolchains, IDE leftovers and git worktrees left by AI coding agents A few things I cared about: • Real space: APFS clones and hard links are counted once, so the number is what you actually get back. • Safe by default: it never deletes a git repo, flags worktrees with unpushed work, and logs every cleanup with how to restore it. • Private: no account, no analytics. Scanning is free. Pro is a one-time $29, and it's $19.99 for launch until Nov 23. I'd love your feedback, especially on what else your Mac is hoarding that DevCleanup should find.
