Storage cleaning built for
software developers.
SpaceWise was created to solve a problem every engineer faces: watching 200 GB of SSD space vanish into phantom build artifacts, forgotten Docker images, and dormant dependency trees.
Why Traditional Mac Cleaners Fail Developers
Mainstream utilities like CleanMyMac or CCleaner were built for everyday consumers who want to clear browser history and empty the Trash. They have zero awareness of developer environments:
- ✕They don't detect that an inactive Node project has 4.2 GB of
node_modulesthat could be re-installed in seconds. - ✕They can't differentiate between active Docker containers and 30 GB of stale BuildKit layers inside the Docker virtual disk.
- ✕They blindly flag hidden
.gitor toolchain configuration directories as “junk”, risking uncommitted work.
SpaceWise was designed from the ground up to respect engineering workflows: verified against git status, lockfiles, and package configurations before any cleanup is recommended.
100% Local-First & Private
Zero telemetry. Zero tracking beacons. SpaceWise inspects filesystems purely on your physical machine. Your repository names, file structures, and code never leave your device.
Reversible Trash Safety
We never run permanent destructive rm commands behind your back. Every cleaned item is moved to your native macOS Trash or Windows Recycle Bin, so you can restore anything in one click.
Local AI Knowledge Graph
Our offline knowledge graph instantly classifies 200+ developer cache signatures. For unknown mystery folders, you can optionally connect local Ollama models or BYOK cloud keys with full path anonymization.
