Closed-source macOS dev-junk cleaner (Mac App Store): maps storage consumption to projects - node_modules, Gradle, Flutter, Xcode DerivedData - with per-item risk labels (Safe / Rebuildable / Review / Never touch). Read-only scanning; reclaim needs confirmation plus fresh safety checks; approved items go to Trash. 'Local-first, no account, no telemetry, and no AI deciding what gets removed.'

r/SideProject — I built ExactDisk, a Mac app that shows which project ate your disk (node_modules, Gradle, Flutter, Xcode DerivedData) by u/mrdzyn

Canonical CSV entry (reached via /s/ share link). Pre-order announcement.

My Mac kept running out of space, and the culprit was always build output and caches spread across dozens of repos. — Problem statement
Scanning is read-only. Reclaim needs your confirmation plus fresh safety checks, and approved items go to macOS Trash, never permanent deletion. — Trust signal
local-first, with no account, no telemetry, and no AI deciding what gets removed — Trust signal
I'd love feedback on the safety model. — Engagement hook
