Clear Mac Dev and AI Tool Caches with DevCleaner
A free macOS menu bar utility for finding risk-rated cache cleanup opportunities across developer stacks and AI coding tools.
What you get from it
DevCleaner is a practical Mac utility for developers who keep losing disk space to build caches, simulator runtimes, package-manager caches, and AI-tool leftovers. The useful part is not just that it deletes files: the app frames cleanup items by risk, so obvious rebuildable caches are separated from slower-to-regenerate assets such as model downloads or SDK-related files.
Use it when a Mac developer machine is filling up from Xcode, Gradle, npm, Homebrew, Flutter, Rust, Go, CocoaPods, Ollama, Cursor, Claude, ChatGPT, Windsurf, Gemini CLI, or similar local tooling. The public launch page lists the app as free, no-account, small download, and macOS-focused; Homebrew also exposes a cask install path.
Caveats: I have not run the app on a local Mac in this publishing pass. Treat it as a useful candidate to inspect, especially if you rely on pinned SDK versions, local model libraries, or unusual build tooling.
