Dusty

Menu bar cleaner that shows before it deletes

Description

One-click cleaners like CleanMyMac rarely tell you exactly what they touched. Dusty lives in the menu bar and shows every path and size before anything is deleted. Scanning never deletes, and removals come only from a fixed allowlist of caches and leftovers, so documents, photos and mail are out of reach by design.

It also frees memory honestly: see which apps hold RAM, helpers included, tick the ones idle for an hour, and quit them the way ⌘Q does with a Reopen button. Free and open source.

Features
