DiskSpace AI

Free up space on your Mac without fear.
It tells you what every folder is and only selects what recreates itself. Your files are kept for 7 days, in case you change your mind.

[Version 1.0.27] [macOS 15+] [Apple silicon and Intel] [Free beta]

This repository is DiskSpace AI's public documentation: the catalog of folders the app knows, how to connect it to your AI agent, the release notes, and the place to report bugs or request features. The app itself is not open source.

What it does

• It knows what every folder is. uv, npm, pnpm and Homebrew caches, Xcode build data, node_modules from idle projects, Docker, AI models, simulators, installers you already used… The ones it doesn't know are explained by Apple's AI, on your Mac.
• Four colors, one rule. Green recreates itself and comes selected; amber is for review; gray is your data and is only shown; purple is unclassified.
• With a safety net. What recreates itself is deleted right away; your files are set aside for 7 days and can be restored.
• Duplicate and similar photos. In your Photos library and your folders: exact duplicates, near-identical shots (Apple's Vision picks the best one, on your Mac), old screenshots, big videos and bursts.
• Archive instead of delete. What you don't use but want to keep goes into a .zip that's fully verified before the original is set aside.
• An Explorer with sizes. A folder tree and a table sorted by size, with Quick Look and a filter: what Finder doesn't show you.
• Honest numbers. APFS clones and hard links are counted once, and Docker shows what it really takes up.
• For your AI agent. Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex or Cursor can analyze the disk and propose a cleanup; they always ask before cleaning. How to connect it
• Your files never leave your Mac. No analytics or tracking.
