purge-app is an open-source macOS storage management utility designed to identify unnecessary files and safely reclaim disk space. It scans application caches, system junk, developer tools, unused applications, and large personal files. Its storage dashboard categorizes disk usage and explains which items can be removed safely. Users can clean Xcode build artifacts, package manager caches, obsolete simulator files, and unused development dependencies. The application also detects duplicate files, abandoned application data, and locally stored AI models. Its uninstaller removes applications alongside associated caches, preferences, and other leftovers. Most deleted files are moved to the Trash by default, allowing recovery before permanent removal. Purge includes review screens and safety classifications to help users maintain control over cleanup operations.
