A developer Mac can feel slow for a lot of reasons.

Sometimes the reason is obvious.

A local repository is rarely just source code.

Over time, it becomes a mix of source files, Git history, dependencies, generated build output, caches, logs, assets, local databases, framework artifacts, and tool-specific folders.

When I started Room Service, I thought I was building a Mac cleaner for developers.

At some point every dev ends up here

you run a project
something fails
you try again

If you re building a macOS app, this is one of those decisions that sounds simple but isn t.

When I started building Room Service, I assumed I d ship it on the Mac App Store.

We just shipped Dev Ports in Room Service.

A new way to see and manage active local development servers across your Mac.

Room Service 0.9.0 moves the product further in a direction I care a lot about: helping developers understand and manage what is happening on their machines.

The biggest addition is Build Watcher monitoring.

docker cleanup is basically
delete everything and hope nothing breaks

or remembering a bunch of commands like:

We just shipped Recipes in Room Service.

A new way to turn repeatable cleanup into reusable workflows on macOS.

Recipes lets you turn common cleanup jobs into built-in or custom routines, instead of rebuilding the same flow every time. You can add schedules, approvals, and sharing, so routines are easier to reuse across your own setup or with other people.

A little while ago I shared Dev Ports in Room Service as a way to see and manage active local development servers across a Mac.
