Could you build this?

Partial While the UI is simple, safe disk cleanup on macOS requires deep knowledge of system directories, sandboxing permissions, Full Disk Access, and avoiding destructive system state mutations.

What it would actually take: A reliable Mac cleaner requires a native Swift/Objective-C app leveraging macOS FileSystem APIs, privileged helper tools, and an accurately maintained rules engine of safe cache/log directories across OS versions. Developers need intimate familiarity with macOS App Sandbox, Full Disk Access permissions, and safe trash APIs to avoid corrupting user system states.
