Cleanton

Reclaim disk space and check packages for supply-chain threats on macOS

Cleanton is a native Apple Silicon macOS application and CLI tool that reclaims gigabytes of disk space from developer caches while vetting installed packages for supply-chain attacks. It detects Xcode DerivedData, Docker layer caches, npm and CocoaPods caches, and residual files left behind by uninstalled applications. Cleanton also audits installed npm and pip packages for obfuscated code and malicious behavior. Safety is built-in: users review every cleanup candidate, removed files go to the macOS Trash by default, and package audits never mutate files.

Disk Cleanup01

Developer Cache Detection

Identifies build artifacts from Xcode, Android Studio, Docker, Gradle, npm, Cargo, and Homebrew that silently consume dozens of gigabytes.

App Removal02

Clean App Uninstallation

Discovers hidden Application Support files, preferences, launch daemons, and caches to uninstall applications completely.

Security Scanner03

Supply-Chain Security Scanner

Audits dependencies in active node_modules and python virtual environments for suspicious network sockets and known malicious signatures.

Safety04

Non-Destructive Defaults

Every removal requires operator confirmation. Files are sent to the macOS Trash so accidental deletions can be reversed instantly.
