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.

RefreshYourMac
RefreshYourMac is a macOS disk-cleanup app for people who want to understand what is using storage before removing files. It scans local storage and reports the size and source of items such as application and browser caches, logs, large and duplicate files, unused apps, Xcode build data, simulator files, package-manager caches and data left by AI coding tools. Each category is classified as Safe to Remove, Review, Move to Backup or Protected, and the app requires approval before cleaning; scheduled cleaning is limited to selected Safe to Remove categories. A menu-bar view reports available disk space, while additional tools show CPU and memory use and provide maintenance tasks and app uninstallation. Scanning is free; cleaning requires a paid licence. The app runs on macOS 15 or later and is available as a direct download, with a separate sandboxed edition in the Mac App Store.

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.
