Gif link post with flair 'Showcase/Project' and no body text; earliest of the launch posts (12:00:36Z).
diskreceipt
Active · Source repository
Read-only macOS CLI (one Bash script, runs on the Bash 3.2 that ships with macOS) that scans the home folder and prints a 'receipt' of developer disk usage: node_modules, .venv, Xcode (DerivedData, Archives, simulators), Docker, and package-manager caches (npm, uv, Gradle, etc.). Each line is labeled safe/check/keep with the exact cleanup command; a 'quick wins' section lists the biggest safe items as paste-ready commands. It never deletes anything. Installs via a Homebrew tap or curl. Same author as the paid Shedi cleaner; the repo homepage and guide links point to shedi.app.

Research notes
- Same author as Shedi, a paid macOS dev-junk cleaner ($19.99/1 Mac): the repo homepage field is https://shedi.app/?ref=diskreceipt and the README links a guide hosted at shedi.app/guides/diskreceipt. The free MIT read-only CLI doubles as top-of-funnel marketing for the paid app.
- Same-day build and launch: repo created 2026-10-18T09:59:10Z with v1.0.0 tagged 10 seconds later; v1.1.0 and v1.1.1 shipped within 30 minutes; first reddit post at 12:00 UTC. Launch post says it was built that morning in one Claude Code session.
- 42 minutes after the launch posts the author asked r/appmarketing 'how can i promote my app without promoting on Reddit?'
- A companion homebrew-tap repo was created the same day (2026-10-18T09:59:35Z) for `brew install abdiraimov-otabek/tap/diskreceipt`.

I vibe coded a tool to find what my vibe coded projects left on my disk. 26.8 GB. — Intro cliche
Every side project I start with Claude Code leaves something behind. A node_modules here, a .venv there, a build folder I forget about the moment the idea dies. — Problem statement
It only reads and never deletes anything. Every line says whether it's safe to clean and gives the command. — Trust signal
It's free and open source, called diskreceipt on GitHub, if anyone wants it. — Virtue
What's the biggest pile of leftovers your vibe coding has made? — Engagement hook
