For developers Xcode · Node · Python · Rust · Go · Android · Docker

Your dev tools are hoarding gigabytes.

DerivedData, simulators, node_modules in projects you forgot about, Gradle and pip caches, old toolchains. DevSweep measures all of it, tells you what’s safe, and cleans it in one click.

What it cleans

Every corner developers forget.

Each item says what it is, whether your tools rebuild it on their own, and exactly how much space you’ll get back.

🔨

Xcode

DerivedData per project, Device Support for every iPhone you plugged in, Archives, previews and SwiftPM caches.

📱

Simulators

Unavailable simulators via simctl, simulator caches, and every device with its apps and data.

{ }

JavaScript

npm, Yarn, pnpm and Bun caches, node-gyp, Electron, Deno, plus Playwright, Puppeteer and Cypress browsers.

🐍

Python

pip, Poetry, uv and pipenv caches, conda packages, and every virtualenv sitting in your projects.

⚙️

Rust & Go

Cargo registry and git checkouts, old rustup toolchains, Go build and module caches (read-only files handled for you).

☕️

Java & Android

Gradle caches and wrapper distributions, Maven, Android emulators and system images, Studio caches.

🐳

Docker & Homebrew

docker system prune with the reclaimable size up front, old Homebrew downloads and outdated formula versions.

🧠

AI models

Ollama, LM Studio, Hugging Face, PyTorch and Whisper weights — often the biggest surprise on the disk.

⌨️

Editors

VS Code, Cursor and Windsurf caches, JetBrains indexes and logs, CocoaPods, Carthage, Flutter and pub caches.

Projects

That side project from March still has 2 GB of node_modules.

DevSweep walks your project folders and finds dependencies and build output: node_modules, .next, dist, Rust target, Pods, .venv, Gradle and Flutter build, SwiftPM .build and more.

Filter to projects you haven’t touched in 30 days, 90 days or a year, select them all, and clean. One npm install brings any of them back.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Will cleaning break my projects?

Items marked Safe are caches and build output. Your tools recreate them the next time you build or install — it just takes a little longer that first time. Items marked Review are things you may want to keep, like Xcode archives or AI models.

Does it need Xcode, Docker or Homebrew installed?

No. DevSweep only shows tools it finds. Command-based clean-ups (simulators, Docker, Homebrew) appear when the tool is installed.

Why is Docker showing 0?

Docker has to be running for DevSweep to ask it how much is reclaimable. Start Docker Desktop or OrbStack and scan again.

Where does the freed space go if I use Move to Trash?

It stays in the Trash until you empty it. Choose “Delete permanently” in the clean dialog to free space immediately.

macOS says it can’t verify the developer.

DevSweep is distributed directly from this website. Here’s how to open it the first time.
