Scrubs - See what fills your Mac's disk and clear it safely
Storage settings shows a grey "System Data" bar and no way inside it. Scrubs maps your whole drive as a treemap, every folder sized by the space it takes, and suggests what's usually safe to clear: Xcode's DerivedData, old simulators, stale node_modules, caches and installers. Everything you delete goes to the Trash first, and ⌘Z puts it back. Native Swift, no analytics, free to scan.

Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm Parsa, and I built Scrubs because my Mac kept saying the disk was full and Storage settings and i got a little annoyed with it 😅
When I finally measured it, over 200 GB was sitting in folders I never open: old simulator runtimes, Android emulators, iOS debug symbols, IDE caches, Gradle. Nothing told me which were safe to clear, and the "cleaner" apps I tried mostly wiped caches that came back the next day.
So Scrubs does three things:
• Maps the whole drive as a treemap, so the big stuff is obvious in seconds
• Suggests places that are usually safe to clear (DerivedData, simulators, old node_modules, caches, installers)
• Deletes only what you pick, to the Trash first, with ⌘Z to undo
It's native mac app, has no analytics, and your files never leave your Mac. Scanning is free, with 2 free deletes per Mac; a license is a one-time $14.99 for 3 Macs ($9.99 for the first 100).
What I'd love feedback on: what did the map find on your Mac that surprised you, and what folders should Cleanup know about that it doesn't yet?
