Built for developers
PureMac surfaces the real offenders from an actual dev Mac.
Category-based scanning
Dotfile cruft, node_modules, dormant apps, orphaned app support, developer caches, browser caches, and large files—all with risk labels.
Risk signals
Items labeled Review First, Recommended, or Safe to Remove so you know what's generally safe to clear versus what deserves a second look.
Trash by default
Move items to Trash (default) or delete permanently with extra confirmation. Reveal in Finder before you select anything.
Native macOS app
Built with Tauri 2 and Rust. Live scan progress streams from the backend while it walks your home folder. No subscription, no account.
