Audience
Mac users and developers managing storage, local repositories, Git worktrees, development caches, and cluttered folders.
About Nijia
Nijia helps Mac users understand disk usage and review cleanup decisions. Its five modules cover Smart Cleanup, Space Analysis, Dev Workspaces, AI Desk Tidy, and System Watch. Developers can inspect repositories, Git worktrees, build artifacts, and caches with workspace context. File organization is proposed for review. Storage checks and organization proposals run locally on the Mac without an external AI account or API key. Selected cleanup actions require review and confirmation before moving files to Trash; emptying Trash has a separate confirmation. Nijia is paid software with monthly, annual, and one-time Pro licences, each supporting up to two Macs.

Latent
Latent is a native macOS disk cleanup and storage-analysis app for developers and people who use local AI tools. It attributes storage to the apps and tools that created it, including model files, developer build artifacts, package caches, Docker data and app files, then labels items as recoverable, user-controlled or protected. Users can inspect space by owner, review memory use, uninstall apps and find near-duplicate AI images and videos by similarity. Cleanup actions are recorded for recovery: file removals can be restored from Trash, while items managed by external tools have recovery guidance. An optional built-in Model Context Protocol (MCP) server lets compatible assistants inspect scans and propose cleanup actions, which require user confirmation. Latent runs locally on macOS 14 or later; scanning is free and a license is required to remove files.

ByteSweep
ByteSweep is a storage cleanup and file-management suite for computers and phones. Its Mac and Windows desktop apps scan disk use, explain what is taking up space, and let users review cleanup suggestions before removing temporary files, logs, Trash contents, update leftovers, app remnants, and caches. Tools also identify exact duplicates and similar photos or videos, organize selected folders, locate files from plain-language descriptions, and show developer-related storage such as Xcode and Docker files. A basic view explains storage in plain language, while an advanced view exposes more detail. Supported desktop cleanups can be restored for seven days. Separate iPhone and Android apps help users review photos, large videos, screenshots, and duplicate contacts; phone features and purchasing are separate from the computer license.

MOLE
MOLE is a native macOS utility for reviewing and cleaning user application cache folders on Apple Silicon Macs running macOS 14 or later. It scans caches locally and presents folder sizes and paths so users can compare entries, search the list, and reveal locations in Finder before choosing what to clean. Scanning is available without activation; moving selected folders to the Trash requires a paid license and an online license check. Cleanup requires user selection and confirmation, and MOLE does not empty the Trash, so moved files continue to use storage until the user empties it. A personal license costs $15 once for up to two active Macs and covers the purchased version. MOLE does not provide whole-disk analysis, duplicate-file finding, or app uninstallation. Scanned cache size is an estimate, not a guarantee of recoverable space.

Mint
Mint is a macOS storage cleanup and file-organization app for developers, independent professionals and studios working on individual Macs. It maps disk use and presents caches, build output, app leftovers and supported AI-coding workspace data for review before cleanup. Users can preview folder-organization plans, apply selected moves, and run enabled Auto Care routines while Mint is running. For eligible duplicate or supported files, Optimize can reduce storage use while keeping files in place. Mint Direct also provides a command-line interface and Model Context Protocol server for storage queries and supported cleanup from scan plans; these agent tools do not expose every in-app operation. File analysis and organization run locally on the Mac. Available actions, free allowances, recovery and licensing vary by edition and operation. Requires macOS 14 or later.
