# SpaceWise

> SpaceWise is a native, privacy-first storage cleaner purpose-built for software developers on macOS (Apple Silicon + Intel) and Windows 10/11. It reclaims disk space consumed by developer toolchains, AI model weights, Docker data, Xcode builds, and dormant project build caches.

SpaceWise runs 100% locally on-device with zero telemetry, zero analytics tracking, and zero cloud uploads. Files are safely relocated to the native OS Trash to guarantee reversible, non-destructive cleanups.

## Core Features

- [AI Session History & Security Audit](https://www.spacewisemac.in/#ai-sessions): Discovers and manages bloated JSONL transcripts, conversation search databases, and caches across Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor Agent, Windsurf, and Copilot. Includes offline credential leak detection, POSIX ustar compression, and a 30-day quarantine vault.
- [Dormant Project Pruner](https://www.spacewisemac.in/#features): Discovers inactive software projects (30+ days untouched) and safely cleans reproducible directories like node_modules, .next, target, bin, and obj.
- [AI Folder Explainer](https://www.spacewisemac.in/#features): Offline Knowledge Graph and local AI diagnostics explaining mystery developer directories, process creators, and safe removal advice.
- [AI Model Graveyard](https://www.spacewisemac.in/guides/clean-ai-models-mac): Aggregates and purges abandoned local AI model checkpoints across Ollama, Hugging Face, ComfyUI, PyTorch, and LM Studio.
- [Docker Engine Deep Cleaner](https://www.spacewisemac.in/guides/clean-docker-mac): Prunes dangling container images, stopped dev containers, stale BuildKit caches, and unused volumes without stopping active containers.
- [Xcode & iOS Simulator Purger](https://www.spacewisemac.in/guides/clean-xcode-deriveddata): Reclaims 20-80 GB from DerivedData, simulator runtimes, archives, and CoreSimulator device caches.
- [Duplicate File Finder](https://www.spacewisemac.in/#features): Cryptographic SHA-256 exact-match duplicate detection across APFS, HFS+, NTFS, and exFAT partitions.
- [Developer Toolkit Cleaner](https://www.spacewisemac.in/#features): Safely purges package caches for Homebrew, pip, conda, Gradle, Maven, Go modules, and Rust Cargo.
