MacMonitor is a native Mac app that shows what's filling your disk and cleans it safely. Clean System Data sorts it into safe to clean, worth a look, and managed by macOS. Smart Scan finds junk, build caches, AI models and idle apps in one pass. Organizer sorts messy folders, and Activity shows CPU, memory, disk and battery. You review everything first, cleanup goes to the Trash with Put Back, and nothing is uploaded. One-time purchase, macOS 14+. Try it in your browser: macmonitor.app/demo

Could you build this?
Partial A native Mac UI for disk usage, folder organizing, and activity monitoring is vibe-codeable, but safely classifying macOS system data and performing privileged cleanup is hard to get right without deep platform knowledge.
What it would actually take: Build a native Swift/SwiftUI app using FileManager, disk-usage scanning, and host/process statistics APIs, then sign and notarize it. The hard part is knowing which files are safe to delete (caches, Time Machine snapshots, managed system data, model caches) and handling sandbox and Full Disk Access permissions. That requires macOS internals expertise and extensive testing to avoid destroying user data.
