Description
A developer's Mac fills up without warning. Every project has its own node_modules, and build output, package caches and Xcode intermediates keep piling up, and now Claude and Codex leave stacks of session transcripts behind too. General-purpose cleaners don't understand any of it and just tell you "Other" is taking a few hundred gigabytes.
StorageDaddy is a native Mac storage analyzer built for developers. Scan a disk or a folder, see where the space went in a colored treemap, and Developer Insights picks out caches, builds, packages, Git data and AI tool storage so you can tell what regenerates on its own and what you need to keep.
It's careful about cleanup. Scanning never deletes anything; candidates go into a review list, you read the warnings, then confirm a move to Trash, and it never empties Trash for you, so mistakes are recoverable. Everything runs on your Mac, with no uploads and no AI calls. Free and open source (MIT), for Apple Silicon Macs on macOS 14 or later.
Visual explorer: live scan results, treemap and other views, folder drill-down, sorting, an inspector, and a switch between on-disk and logical sizes.
Developer Insights: recognizes caches, build folders, packages, node_modules, Git data and AI storage, labels whether each can be regenerated, and shows scan time, entries per second and memory used.
Reviewed cleanup: stage candidates, check each warning, then confirm the move to Trash; anything it can't confirm is marked "Regeneration unconfirmed".
Applications: installed apps with icons, sizes, last-used dates and categories, plus reviewed removal of eligible apps.
AI Sessions: inventories Claude and Codex transcripts in their standard locations without a disk scan, and exports older conversations locally before you clean them up.
AI Context (Beta): expands each project to show the instruction files and global skills an agent may read, with previews and per-agent size estimates.
Snapshots and exclusions: save scans to History for comparison, and exclude folders so they're neither scanned nor cleaned.
