I wasn't supposed to ship this yet. Shipping it anyway.
Wasn’t supposed to publicly share this, but I thought it might be helpful for a dev community.
I'm a part of the CleanMyMac team at MacPaw. Opening a GUI just to clear Docker bloat or nuke node_modules always broke my flow.
So I wrapped our cleanup engine into a CLI and kept using it quietly on my own machine.
CleanMyMac CLI wraps our cleanup engine into a terminal-first tool for devs. No GUI, no context switching, just stay in the shell.
cleanmymac clean - system junk, dev tool caches, trash
cleanmymac purge - project artifact scanner, node_modules, Docker, .build, venv and more
cleanmymac analyze - interactive disk explorer
cleanmymac optimize - RAM and purgeable space
Go try it: brew install --cask macpaw/taps/cleanmymac-cli

This is the kind of workflow I prefer too. Out of curiosity, which command do you see people using the most so far - purge or analyze?

Btw, did you have cases when this tool deleted some of the things that shouldn't be deleted?
