I just launched Toolbox after repeatedly seeing cleanup apps tell me a folder is large without explaining what created it or how to undo a removal.
I built it around three constraints: scan only folders the user chooses, show evidence before cleanup, and keep recovery records for Trash-backed actions.
I m curious where trust still breaks down for you:
- What evidence do you need before deleting a path?
Toolbox is a free, open-source macOS app I built after getting tired of cleanup tools that show large folders without explaining what created them or whether removal is reversible. It traces installer changes, finds rebuildable project output only inside folders you choose, and records Trash-backed cleanup actions so you can recover them. Everything runs locally. No account, telemetry, privileged helper, or automatic deletion. Not Apple-notarized; first launch requires Open Anyway.
