Devpurge – Clean hidden dev caches on macOS

by daikisoga·Feb 12, 2026·1 point·1 comment

AI Analysis

●●SolidSolve My ProblemNiche Gem

Targets Claude/Cursor/uv caches that CleanMyMac misses; Homebrew-installable cleanup.

Strengths
  • Specifically catalogs AI-era tool caches (Claude, Cursor, Playwright) that generic cleaners ignore
  • Safe dry-run mode with precise size reporting prevents accidental data loss
  • Real-world validation: 45GB recovered on test machine, respects caution-level separation
Weaknesses
  • MacOS-only; Windows/Linux developers get nothing
  • Solves a frivolous problem (disk space) vs. critical pain points
Target Audience

macOS developers using AI tools, package managers, and IDEs
