DeepClean - Mac cleaner that digs deeper

What it does

Your Mac has gigabytes of files you'll never see. Old caches, leftover app data, duplicate photos, developer tool junk. They pile up quietly and slow things down. DeepClean finds all of it. It scans places other tools don't look, shows you exactly what each file is, and tells you if it's safe to delete. No guessing.

Your Mac says System Data is 127 GB. DeepClean shows what is inside it and what is safe to remove. Scan free; unlimited cleanup is $39 once.

DeepClean shows you what's consuming your Mac's storage, explains what deserves attention, and helps you reclaim space without guesswork. Where the 127 GB went. macOS gives you one number. DeepClean gives you the list, with a rating on every line. No breakdown. No way to see what it is, or what you could remove. Sizes shown are an example. macOS also counts things it manages itself, like swap files and local snapshots, inside System Data. DeepClean focuses on the parts you can actually do something about. Every item DeepClean finds carries one of three ratings and a note on why. Temporary or generated data that apps and tools recreate when they need it. May be unnecessary, but that depends…from deepclean.app

  Instead 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.

  Hey HN Ex YC&#x2F;Google engineer turned indie maker here - excited to share something I just shipped. The System Data in my Mac was taking up 300GB and it took me months to figure out how to clear the old cache, logs, junk and more. And CleanMyMac is a subscription - I refuse to pay subscription fees for Mac apps that run locally. So I built FreeUpMyMac an offline, lifetime Mac cleaner that clear junk with 1 click. And helps you visualize your storage with TreeMap&#x2F;Sunburst. Hope it’s helpful to you as it is for me. Would love your feedback Tunde

  Talanoa▲346

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  I built a frontpage for personal blogs▲783

  With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https:&#x2F;&#x2F;text.blogosphere.app&#x2F; Non-minimal: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blogosphere.app&#x2F; If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
