Developers, independent professionals and small studios maintaining storage and organizing work files on individual Macs.
About Mint
Mint is a macOS storage cleanup and file-organization app for developers, independent professionals and studios working on individual Macs. It maps disk use and presents caches, build output, app leftovers and supported AI-coding workspace data for review before cleanup. Users can preview folder-organization plans, apply selected moves, and run enabled Auto Care routines while Mint is running. For eligible duplicate or supported files, Optimize can reduce storage use while keeping files in place. Mint Direct also provides a command-line interface and Model Context Protocol server for storage queries and supported cleanup from scan plans; these agent tools do not expose every in-app operation. File analysis and organization run locally on the Mac. Available actions, free allowances, recovery and licensing vary by edition and operation. Requires macOS 14 or later.

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.

Nijia
Nijia helps Mac users understand disk usage and review cleanup decisions. Its five modules cover Smart Cleanup, Space Analysis, Dev Workspaces, AI Desk Tidy, and System Watch. Developers can inspect repositories, Git worktrees, build artifacts, and caches with workspace context. File organization is proposed for review. Storage checks and organization proposals run locally on the Mac without an external AI account or API key. Selected cleanup actions require review and confirmation before moving files to Trash; emptying Trash has a separate confirmation. Nijia is paid software with monthly, annual, and one-time Pro licences, each supporting up to two Macs.

MoreRoom
MoreRoom is a native storage manager for Macs running macOS 15 or later. It maps disk use to help users find large files, caches, similar photos, downloads and macOS System Data. It explains items in plain language and marks them “Safe to remove” or “Review first.” Users choose what to remove; selected items go to the Trash and can be restored with Undo. Developer tools identify storage used by Xcode, Android emulators, node_modules, Docker and package-manager caches. It can hibernate inactive projects while keeping source code, and Storage Weather tracks free space and forecasts when a disk may fill up. MoreRoom examines cloud-synced files without a separate cloud sign-in, with scans running locally on the Mac. The free edition includes disk scanning and single-item cleanup; Pro adds batch cleanup and other multi-item tools. It is for Mac users, including developers managing application, project and media files.
