Wipecraft - Mac System Data cleaner with on-device AI mode

by

macOS shows System Data as one number. Wipecraft lists what is in it, and in the rest of the disk, with each item's size and what removing it does. It knows what Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Xcode, simulators and Docker leave behind, and locks work in progress. Ask Overview a question with AI mode, which runs on your Mac. Safe cleanup can run on a schedule. Nothing comes selected; what does not rebuild itself goes to Quarantine for 30 days. Scanning is free; cleaning is a one-time license.

Hi Product Hunt, I'm Berkay and I built Wipecraft.

I do agentic development all day. Over a few months I watched my Mac's System Data grow and the Mac get slower. The storage panel showed one number and nothing else, so I couldn't tell what was safe to remove.

What surprised me most were the simulators and worktrees. On my Mac, simulators take 98.8 GB, Git worktrees 22.4 GB and Claude Desktop's data 12.4 GB.

Wipecraft lists what is in System Data, row by row. Three things mattered most to me while building it:

  • Running work is never touched. Sessions an agent has open, the worktree it works in, and worktrees with uncommitted or unpushed changes are locked.

  • Every removal is your decision. Nothing comes selected.

  • Each row says what it is, how big it is and what happens if you remove it. What no app rebuilds goes to Quarantine for 30 days, with a Restore button. Caches their app rebuilds are removed directly, and the row says so first.

It now measures the whole disk, not only System Data. My brother looked at his disk one morning and asked me what had happened overnight, so 1.7 added a What changed tab: which folders grew or shrank since yesterday, and which files are new. It also lists your apps with their size, leftovers and last use.

1.8 adds an AI mode on Overview, for Macs with Apple Intelligence on macOS 26. It runs on the Mac; it sees summary numbers only, nothing is sent and your questions are not stored. It can set a list filter or explain, never select or delete. Safe cleanup can also run on a schedule you set, and a Projects tab lists build output per project.

Scanning is free, so you can see what it finds before paying. Cleaning needs a license: $9.99 one-time for the first 500 buyers, then $19. It works on 2 Macs and has a 14-day refund. There is no account and no telemetry.

I'm open to every idea, improvement and criticism. If it misses a folder on your Mac, or one of the rules looks wrong to you, tell me here.
