Latent attributes every gigabyte on a developer's Mac to the tool that owns it — model weights, package caches, simulator runtimes, build artifacts — and proves what can be re-downloaded. AI-generated media too: near-identical variants grouped by similarity, render frame sequences and ComfyUI outputs. Every removal is recorded first and can be undone. Nothing runs in the background. Free to scan; a licence covers 3 Macs — $9.99 for a limited time, then $12.99.

Hi Product Hunt — I'm Donghwan, a solo developer in Seoul. I built Latent after an ML side project quietly filled my Mac with model weights and package caches that no cleaner could explain. The tools I tried either deleted things I later needed, or showed me "junk" with no way to tell what it was. So Latent starts from the opposite rule: never delete what can't be brought back. It tells you which tool owns each gigabyte, proves re-downloadability against the real registry before offering removal, and writes a record before every move so you can undo it. If it can't prove something, it says so and leaves it alone. It's free to scan, and a one-time licence unlocks removal. I'd love to hear which caches on your Mac it gets wrong — the feedback form can attach the cleanup record so I can see exactly what happened.

Update — Latent 1.0.8 handles AI-generated images and videos too. Generation leaves a recognisable shape on disk: dozens of near-identical variants, folders of numbered render frames, a ComfyUI output folder nobody opens again. Latent now finds those — near-identical shots grouped by similarity, frame sequences as one row, generator outputs under the tool that made them. Keep the one you liked; the rest goes to the Trash, and the undo record stays.
