Description
I built it after my own Mac kept running out of space and every cleaner I tried offered one big "junk" button without saying what each item would cost me to lose. So this one measures first. Scanning is free: lists what it found before you pay anything. There's no memory purge and no malware scanner. Instead it shows how much memory is genuinely spare, and reports XProtect's real signature version and Gatekeeper's state, from your Mac. No account and no telemetry. €39.99 once, or €19.99 a year.

Could you build this?
Partial While an electron/Swift UI displaying system storage is manageable, safely scanning macOS caches, handling permissions, and precisely calculating reclaimable space requires native macOS system API expertise.
What it would actually take: Built using Swift/SwiftUI with native macOS Foundation, DiskArbitration, and FileManager APIs. The hard part is building safe heuristics that classify system versus user caches, dealing with sandboxing and Full Disk Access permissions, and avoiding system instability when deleting files. Requires macOS systems programming experience and understanding of APFS snapshots and system permissions.
