Know what’s using your Mac.

Hello, Faisal.
MacDoctor found 392 MB that is safe to clean and 1.7 GB worth reviewing.
Can be downloaded again. Your projects and source code stay untouched.
It explains first.
Then lets you decide.
Storage isn’t “junk” just because it is large. MacDoctor identifies who created it, why it exists, and what actually happens if you remove it.
Explain why this exists
See the owner, exact location, size, last use, regeneration behavior, deletion impact, confidence, and recommended action.
Developer-aware by default
Understands Docker, Xcode, npm, pnpm, SwiftPM, Python, Rust, Go, browsers, local AI models, and more.
Cleanup you can undo
File-based cleanup goes to Quarantine first. Restore it anytime during the retention window.
See storage by project
Understand source, dependencies, build output, caches, and active processes without reading sensitive source files.
Your development environment is not disposable.
MacDoctor uses explicit rules, validates every path again at cleanup time, blocks protected paths and external volumes, and never sends file names or scan results anywhere.
- ✓Known paths, not blind scans
A location must have a reviewed rule before it becomes a cleanup candidate.
- ✓Protected means protected
Source code, credentials, databases, Docker volumes, .git, .env, and lockfiles stay off limits.
- ✓No fake optimization
No RAM booster, invented health score, or scary number designed to make you click.
$ macdoctor explain docker-build-cache Docker Build Cache ──────────────────────────────────── Size 30.06 GB Created by Docker BuildKit Safety ● Safe Confidence High Why it exists Docker stores intermediate build layers so future builds can reuse unchanged steps. Deletion impact Future builds may be slower. Source code, containers, and volumes are not removed. › Recommended: Remove unused build cache.
Trust the code,
not a marketing promise.
MacDoctor is GPL-3.0 licensed. Inspect the safety engine, audit every cleanup rule, build it yourself, or help make it better.
Your Mac deserves a second opinion.
See what is using your storage. Understand it. Clean only what is safe.
