Cleaner apps earned a bad name for clearing caches that refill by morning. Shedi goes after what your tools left behind for projects you stopped opening, and says which items return.

Hi, I'm Otabek. I make Halo and Shedi, two small Mac apps.
My own Mac kept running out of space, and the culprits were always the same: Xcode builds, simulators, node_modules in projects I had stopped opening. Cleaner apps either missed them or wanted me to trust a single button. So I built one that shows its work.
It explains every item, takes only what you pick, and puts it in the Trash first. Every email to support@shedi.app comes to me.

Not notarized yet: my Apple Developer enrollment comes in November, and the notarized build follows as a free update. Until then, the first launch needs one "Open Anyway" click (how).
Free guides with the exact paths and commands, written while building Shedi.
Nothing is removed until you press Clean, and you see the full list first. Files go to the Trash, so you can put them back. Nothing outside your home folder is touched, except through Docker's and Xcode's own tools and an app you drag into the uninstaller. Shedi doesn't follow symbolic links, and skips the files of apps that are still open.
Only what you select. Every item is marked Safe, Check first or Your files, and only Safe items are selected for you. A few things can't go to the Trash, like Docker images or broken simulator runtimes. Those are cleaned with the tool's own command, and Shedi names each one before it runs.
macOS hides app caches, logs and parts of your Library until you allow it. With Full Disk Access, Shedi can see and measure them. Without it, Shedi still works and tells you what it couldn't see. Names and sizes stay on your Mac.
Notarization needs a paid Apple Developer membership, and my enrollment comes in November. Until then, macOS asks you to confirm the first time you open Shedi. Here's how, it takes about 30 seconds. The notarized version follows as a free update.

Any Mac with macOS 15 or later, Apple silicon or Intel. A license works on 1, 2 or 3 Macs, depending on the plan you choose.
Some of it does, and that's fine. Package caches refill when a tool needs them again. Build output like DerivedData or .next comes back only if you build that project again. Every item in Shedi says whether it comes back, so you can skip the ones you'd rather keep.
It does, if you know every path and which ones are safe. The free guides on this site list them. Shedi saves the looking up: one scan finds them all, sizes them, says what each one is, and moves them to the Trash instead of deleting them.
Not by itself. Shedi gives back disk space. A Mac that is nearly full can slow down when macOS runs out of room to work, so space helps then, but no cleaner speeds up a Mac that has room to spare.
