About Broomkit
Broomkit is a native macOS disk cleaner and app uninstaller built for transparency and safety. It scans the home folder across 16 categories — app caches, package caches, dependency folders, simulators, logs, duplicates, and more — showing every file with its full path before removal.
The free version includes a full disk scan, interactive Disk Map visualisation, large and old file finder, and path browsing — no account required. A one-time licence unlocks Reclaim and the App Uninstaller with residue cleanup.
Safety is central: all removals go to Trash, inferred items start unchecked, and no admin password is requested. Leftovers are matched by exact bundle identifier to prevent accidental deletion.
Developer machines are a focus, covering npm, pnpm, pip caches, Xcode DerivedData, simulators, and Docker data. Broomkit runs natively on macOS 14+ on Apple Silicon and Intel, is notarized by Apple, and requires no subscription.

Dusty
Dusty is a native macOS storage-cleanup application for developers and Mac power users. It scans a Mac for large or older files, browser caches, developer dependencies and build artifacts, WhatsApp media, and application support files left after apps are removed. Users can review identified items and storage details, request plain-language explanations powered by Google Gemini, and choose what to move to the macOS Trash for review. The software also provides a one-click application uninstaller, a tool for finding old downloads and installers, and specialized cleanup for developer folders such as node_modules and Xcode build data. Dusty describes its storage scanning as local and provides reversible Trash-first cleanup. It is distributed as a Mac app for Apple Silicon and Intel computers. A 24-hour full-access trial is available; paid options include a lifetime license for one Mac and a plan covering up to three personal Macs.

Latent
Latent is a native macOS disk cleanup and storage-analysis app for developers and people who use local AI tools. It attributes storage to the apps and tools that created it, including model files, developer build artifacts, package caches, Docker data and app files, then labels items as recoverable, user-controlled or protected. Users can inspect space by owner, review memory use, uninstall apps and find near-duplicate AI images and videos by similarity. Cleanup actions are recorded for recovery: file removals can be restored from Trash, while items managed by external tools have recovery guidance. An optional built-in Model Context Protocol (MCP) server lets compatible assistants inspect scans and propose cleanup actions, which require user confirmation. Latent runs locally on macOS 14 or later; scanning is free and a license is required to remove files.
