BuildSweeper: Cache Cleaner

BuildSweeper is a macOS utility for developers who want to free up disk space used by build artifacts, dependency folders, and tool caches. Select any folders you work in, run a scan, and view a clear, reviewable results tree showing what's taking up space and how much you can recover.

You can also run a global cache scan to identify well-known developer cache locations across your Mac.

= Key Features =

• Intelligent project scanning with project-root detection (only flags artifacts inside actual projects)
• Global cache scanning for popular tools (Xcode, VSCode, Cursor, Codex, package managers, CocoaPods, Deno, and more)
• Support for 18 ecosystems (iOS/Swift, Flutter, Node.js, Expo, Rust, Python, Ruby, and more)
• Process awareness: warns before deleting folders used by running applications
• Hierarchical results with folder sizes, selection controls, descriptions, and warnings where relevant
• Finder preview for quick verification before removal
• Safe deletion process: confirmation option + Trash vs. permanent deletion
• Handles partial failures smoothly and reports space freed
• Customizable rules: enable/disable ecosystems and specific patterns to suit your workflow
