DevCleaner

What it does

DevCleaner lives in your Mac's menu bar and frees the gigabytes that 22 dev ecosystems quietly hoard — Xcode, Gradle, npm, plus AI apps like Cursor, Claude & Ollama. Every item is risk-rated, so you always know what's safe to delete. Free, no account, 4 MB.

macOS menu bar app that safely clears Xcode DerivedData, Docker images, Gradle and npm caches, and old simulators. Reclaim space without breaking setup.

DerivedData. Gradle caches. Old simulators. npm’s attic. Every build tool keeps a private stash it never cleans up. DevCleaner finds it all, tells you what’s safe to delete, and frees the space in one click. Real reactions from the Product Hunt launch — disk pain, hibernation questions, and the kind of praise that only comes from people who’ve actually run out of space. Written comments from anonymous in-app ratings. Star-only scores still count toward the average. Also 13 ratings without a written comment — counted in the average above, not shown as quotes. From the first scan to the safe-only clean — the whole idea in twenty-two seconds. DevCleaner ships with scanners for twenty-three…from devcleaner.app

  Hey HN Ex YC/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/Sunburst. Hope it’s helpful to you as it is for me. Would love your feedback Tunde

  Talanoa▲341

  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…

  Homebrew 6.0.0▲1,481

  Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

  Performative-UI – A react component library of design tropes▲1,181

  Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
