Detox: smart disc cleaner
Dev-Friendly Disc Cleaner
Only for Mac
Free · In‑App Purchases
Mac
No subscription. No black box. Detox shows the exact path and size of everything it finds — you decide what goes. One-time purchase for unlimited cleaning.
Your disk is fuller than it should be. Detox shows you exactly why — and gives back the space in seconds.
Detox is a fast, native macOS cleaner built for people who actually care what gets deleted. No black box. No "trust us." Every file Detox finds is shown with its real path, its real size, and a one-click reveal in Finder. You decide. Then it cleans.
WHAT DETOX FINDS
• Developer bloat — node_modules, Python .venv folders, Xcode DerivedData, Gradle and build caches. The regenerable junk that quietly eats tens of gigabytes.
• Dead app caches and logs — the leftovers from Spotify, Slack, Chrome, Discord and more.
• Large and old files — buried downloads and forgotten archives, surfaced and sorted.
• Trash — emptied on your terms.
BUILT FOR DEVELOPERS
Flip to Dev View and every finding shows its exact directory path inline, grouped by category, terminal-style. Detox knows the difference between an active project and a stale one — artifacts in projects you haven't touched in months get pre-selected, while anything live stays untouched until you say so. Your installed runtimes (pyenv, nvm) are listed read-only and never removed. Pinned projects stay pinned.
SAFE BY DESIGN
• Move to Trash is always the default. Nothing vanishes — you can put it back.
• Permanent delete exists, but it's opt-in, never pre-selected, and confirmed every single time.
• Detox reports two honest numbers: what was Trashed, and what was actually Freed.
• Your personal data and installed tools are treated as inventory to review, never junk to wipe.
HONEST ABOUT LIMITS
Detox runs fully sandboxed and tells you the truth about what it can and can't touch. Other apps' live data is shown read-only — clearing it belongs inside those apps, not here. System files and macOS-protected stores stay protected. No fake permissions, no scare tactics, no "boost" gimmicks.
BEAUTIFUL AND NATIVE
A clean, minimal, fully native SwiftUI interface with first-class dark mode. A full window for deep work and a lightweight menu-bar companion for a quick reclaimable-space glance and one-tap Scan. Designed to feel like it shipped with your Mac.
FREE TO TRY, YOURS TO KEEP
Scan as much as you want, forever — full findings, exact paths, real sizes, all free. Your first Clean is on us. Unlock Detox Pro once — a single one-time purchase, no subscription — for unlimited cleaning. Restore Purchases anytime.
Universal 2 — native on Apple Silicon and Intel. Requires macOS 13 Ventura or later.
Reclaim your disk. Keep what matters.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Detox now finds Android and cross-platform dev bloat, not just Node and Xcode.
• Android Studio & JetBrains caches, AVDs, system images, and NDK installs — surfaced for review, never auto-deleted
• Gradle, Flutter, and Kotlin/Native build artifacts, gated behind the same staleness check as node_modules and DerivedData
• Gradle wrapper, pub-cache, and Konan stores added as reviewable Inventory
Also in this update:
• Adding Music, Movies, or Pictures as a scan root now needs your explicit confirmation — media folders are never touched without asking
• Scan results stream in as each category finishes instead of waiting on the slowest pass
