Closed-source macOS (Apple silicon only) disk space analyzer and cleaner in Rust with a GPUI native GUI. One scan feeds eight space views (folders, sunburst, flame graph, bubbles, mind map, largest items, age map, treemap), instant file-name search, and a staged cleanup queue: caches/logs for 260+ apps, Xcode DerivedData/archives/device support, node_modules and target build folders, package-manager caches (Homebrew, npm, Cargo, pip, Gradle). Content-hash duplicate finder (APFS-clone aware), app uninstaller with leftovers, launch-agent/login-item/plug-in manager ('Add-ons'), and an activity log with Put back/undo. Everything moves to Trash; permanent delete is an opt-in setting. ~10 MB DMG served from dl.kronz.xyz.
Mechanical checks derived from the fields above. Each row is one fact; "not yet checked" means exactly that, not a failure. There is no composite score; read them together.

i got tired of digging through my mac trying to figure out why the disk was suddenly full. — Problem statement
there's always some random 20gb folder, cache, build files, old app leftovers... and macos isn't exactly great at telling you what any of it is. — Problem statement
so i made a little app called broom cleaner — Intro cliche
made it mostly because i wanted something simple that i would actually use. — Intro cliche
it scans your mac and helps you find the stuff that's safe to get rid of, without having to hunt through folders yourself. — Trust signal
would genuinely love to hear what you think. — Engagement hook
