Free Up

What it does

FreeUp is a native macOS storage cleaner that finds duplicates, caches, system junk, and forgotten files eating your disk space. Built with Swift and SwiftUI, it scans your entire drive in seconds; not minutes. Select what to remove, preview before you delete, and reclaim gigabytes instantly. No subscriptions, no bloat, no Electron wrapper. Just a fast, lightweight tool that looks and feels like it belongs on your Mac. Built by Mecury Labs.

  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

  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!

  Talanoa▲343

  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 spent 3 years reverse-engineering a 40 yo stock market sim from 1986▲721

  Hello my name is Ben Ward for the past 3 years I have been remastering the financial game Wall Street Raider created by Michael Jenkins originally on DOS in 1986. It has been a rough journey but I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just recently redid the website and thought maybe the full story of how this project came to be would interest you all. Thank you for reading.
