Could you build this?
Partial While the UI and basic cache-clearing commands are straightforward, macOS disk utilities require handling strict sandboxing, Full Disk Access permissions, and safe deletion of APFS system caches without bricking apps.
What it would actually take: A production version requires a native Swift/Objective-C application with a helper daemon to handle elevated privileges and navigate macOS's privacy framework (TCC/Full Disk Access). Safe reclamation involves accurate APFS snapshot querying and knowledge of system and third-party application cache directory lifecycles to prevent data corruption.
