Mac Cleanup Go▲100Instead of a traditional command-style CLI, it runs as a TUI in the terminal, allowing users to inspect cleanup targets before proceeding. On my macOS machines, caches and app data often take up more than 40% of disk usage. Manually cleaning them each time felt tedious, so I built this tool to make the process easier. While similar tools exist, I found it hard to quickly understand how items were categorized or how important each cleanup target was, so I built my own. Repository: https://github.com/2ykwang/mac-cleanup-go Feedback is welcome.

Clean Clode▲154I’ve been impressed with Claude Code but one thing that sometimes gets in the way in my workflows is the messy, mangled text that is shown when pasting text from the Claude Code terminal sessions. So I built an open-source utility that cleans extraneous white space, pipes, and other characters from your CC/Codex pastes. For example, you can turn this: `How can I create a Claude Code script that │ │ cleans up extraneous characters and cleans up │ │ extra spaces, new lines, and other messiness │ when I copy from Claude Code terminal │ │ prompts or copy code from Claude Responses in │ │…

Tidy▲98Spotlight returns nothing for words you know are in a scanned document. It is not a bug: a scan has no text layer, so there is nothing to index. How to check, and three ways to make those documents searchable on a Mac.

I wanted to clean old temporary files and caches from my macOS with a script instead of using a shady paid app, so I created a simple script for that. Pull requests are very welcome for other unused files to clean up storage space!

Hey all I've been working on a personal project I wanted to share with the community: CR - Mac Helper. It's a collection of shell scripts designed to help you manage, clean, and optimise our Macs :) https://github.com/caioricciuti/cr-mac-helper As a data engineer/developer, I've accumulated a ton of apps and tools on my Mac over the years, and I was tired of manual cleanup and maintenance.
