I've built a macOS app for developers to clean their dev machines
Hi there! During last time we (me and my friend) were building an app to clean various stuff after Xcode. I was fed up as a developer that Apple related things load my drive and I need hundreds of gigabytes just to do my job. It's live now on Mac App Store and we'll be glad to hear your feedback: https://apps.apple.com/ua/app/cleano/id6469460523 Features - Simulators cleanup. It's a correct cleanup via 'simctl' so you even don't need to restart Xcode for it to take effect - SPM repos cache. Swift PM stores github repos for packages separately and never removes…
In plain words
Cleano is a macOS app that helps developers reclaim disk space by cleaning up files and caches generated by Xcode and related tools. It removes iOS simulator data, Swift Package Manager repository caches, and derived data without requiring Xcode restarts. The app targets macOS developers frustrated by the large storage footprint of Apple development tools. Features in development include desktop widgets for quick cleanup and support for additional package managers like CocoaPods.

Hi there! During last time we (me and my friend) were building an app to clean various stuff after Xcode. I was fed up as a developer that Apple related things load my drive and I need hundreds of gigabytes just to do my job. It's live now on Mac App Store and we'll be glad to hear your feedback: https://apps.apple.com/ua/app/cleano/id6469460523 Features - Simulators cleanup. It's a correct cleanup via 'simctl' so you even don't need to restart Xcode for it to take effect - SPM repos cache. Swift PM stores github repos for packages separately and never removes them unless you ask it via cli. - Derived Data, a first thing you try to fix weird Xcode linking issues :) Some features currently in development: - Desktop widget, so you can delete derived data with a single mouse click - Support for more package managers like CocoaPods; they also have substantial caches that appear to be ignored Links We also have a separate GitHub repo (we're developers, right?) to track issues and feature requests: https://deszip.github.io/Cleaner-Tracker/
