TidyDisk

What it does

TidyDisk lives in your macOS menu bar and shows what your dev projects really cost: every node_modules folder, your pnpm store, and every package installed anywhere on your machine, with versions and security advisories. Cleanup is one click and always goes to the Trash, never rm -rf. The scan is free forever. One-click cleanup is a one-time 19 euro lifetime license (founding price). MIT source on GitHub.

Dev work quietly eats your Mac: heavy node_modules , Docker images, build caches, forgotten experiments. TidyDisk watches from the menu bar and gives the space back in one click. Safely, to the Trash, never rm -rf . TidyDisk watches all of them and gives the space back, safely. Heavy, stale node_modules ranked by the real bytes you would free. Your pnpm store and Docker build cache, pruned in one safe click. A machine-wide dependency inventory: version drift, duplicates, and security advisories. Images, volumes, containers and build cache, grouped by the project they belong to. TidyDisk lives in your menu bar and rescans on your schedule: every 6 hours, daily, or weekly.

  Spotlight 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.

  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

  Mac Cleanup GoJan 2026 · github.com · ▲100

  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. Repository: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;2ykwang&#x2F;mac-cleanup-go Feedback is welcome.

  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…

  I replaced a $120k bowling center system with $1,600 in ESP32s▲2,935

  I might be the only SRE on Earth with his own bowling center. It's a more in-depth gig than you'd think. My family and I bought an abandoned 8-lane bowling center in the rural mid-west. In our small town there weren't many recreation options for families. You've heard of a food desert? This is an R&R desert. It had been abandoned for a good reason. The roof leaks, the electrical system was constantly surging, and my 70-year-old bowling equipment (still) doesn't work perfectly. The system that keeps your score is particularly interesting to me. It's the thing you watch during your game, but…

  Bento - An entire PowerPoint in one HTML file (edit+view+data+collab)▲1,033

  Over the past few months, our team has been building more and more slidedecks using web frontend technologies with coding harnesses like Claude Code, but a common complaint is to make even small edits we need to edit the code either manually or via the harness. To avoid this loop, I ended up creating Bento, a single HTML file with everything you need in a slide tool including animations and shared editing. There's no install or cloud login, everything works offline. The default deck is around 560 KB and it doesn't need to fetch anything once you got it. Open it in a browser and then you can…

  Getting GLM 5.2 running on my slow computer▲937

  A few days ago I found myself trying out GLM 5.2 and was really positively impressed. The capabilities and security I was getting from this LLM are similar to those I've gotten from models like Claude or GPT, and this really surprised me. But then I thought, "I wonder how it would work on a normal computer like mine," and above all, "I wonder if it would work without going into OOM on a computer like mine." So I started working with the help of agents to test this possibility. I started converting the model to int4, understanding MTP usage, and if possible implementing DSA for long context.…

  OpenSEO▲928

  Hello! For the last 2 months, I've been building OpenSEO. It's a user friendly UI wrapping the DataForSEO API which has high quality SEO data for keywords, backlinks, AI SEO and competitor research. Instead of paying $100+ per month, you buy DataForSEO credits and pay only for usage. The coolest thing about the project so far has been hearing about what people are building on top of it. People are using coding agents to quickly integrate with Google Search Console, Google Ads and building their own AI SEO and reporting features. Many were already building their own custom solutions around…
