What it does

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

🔍

Smart project detection

Scans any folder recursively and detects project types from marker files like package.json, Cargo.toml, go.mod, pom.xml, and Dockerfile.

🧹

Six cleanup profiles

Build Artifacts, Package Caches, Compiled Output, Old Dependencies, Docker Bloat, and Old Lock File Versions — each labeled Safe, Moderate, or High risk.

🗑️

Trash, not delete

Safe and moderate removals go to the Trash, so you can drag items back at any time — plus a 5-minute undo after every run.

⚠️

Multi-tier safety warnings

Critical, Caution, and Info warnings before each run, and high-risk profiles require typing "CLEAN" to confirm.

🛡️

Exclusions list

Protect any folder or subdirectory so cleanups never touch what matters to you.

📊

History and analytics

Run history with date, profile, and size recovered, filterable and exportable to CSV, plus a stats dashboard with visual charts.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a subscription?

No. Build Cache Cleaner is a one-time purchase ($3.99). All features and updates are included with no recurring fees.

Does it use the cloud?

No. It runs entirely on your Mac with no network calls — no account required, and no data ever leaves your machine.

Can I undo a cleanup?

Yes. Safe and moderate removals move items to the Trash so you can drag them back, and a 5-minute undo is available after every run. Docker Bloat cleanups are not reversible via Trash.

Which stacks are supported?

Node.js, Python, Ruby, Go, Rust, Java/JVM, and Docker — detected automatically from marker files like package.json, requirements.txt, and Cargo.toml.

How does it handle risky cleanups?

Every profile carries a risk label, multi-tier warnings appear before each run, and high-risk profiles require typing "CLEAN" to confirm.
