Local macOS app

Find leftover files. You decide what goes to Trash.

A quieter Mac, a little more room.

A conservative cleaner for a full SSD. Scan, review groups, then move what you chose to Trash. Nothing is erased until you confirm — and it will never claim a one-click miracle.

Disk Headroom results: review leftover caches, then move selected items to Trash.

Who it is for

  • A full SSD

    01

    macOS is warning that storage is tight. You want a little more room without a reckless cleaner.

  • Homebrew and package caches

    02

    Manager leftovers pile up quietly. Review them in groups instead of hunting folders by hand.

  • Xcode, Android, Docker leftovers

    03

    Toolchains leave heavy caches. Those groups stay optional until you opt in.

  • Menu bar on a Mac

    04

    A small extra in the menu bar when you want a scan without hunting for the window.

How it works

Three steps. You stay in control the whole way.

  1. 01

    Scan

    Look through conservative junk folders and unused apps. The list is a proposal, not a wipe.

  2. 02

    Review groups

    Open each group. Developer leftovers from Xcode, Android, and Docker stay unchecked by default.

  3. 03

    Move to Trash

    Selected items go to Trash, where you can still recover them. Emptying Trash is yours.

What it is not

  • Not a one-click erase

    It does not delete everything for you, and it does not promise to free a magic number of gigabytes.

  • Not for Windows or Linux

    Disk Headroom is a macOS app. For now, other platforms are out of scope.

  • Not a cloud product

    Files are not uploaded. There is no sync account and no remote dashboard.

  • Not a login wall

    No account, no subscription gate. Download, scan, review.

Local-first

Scan and Trash happen on your Mac. No telemetry, no account, no cloud — the quieter path on purpose.
