Sweep is here

The first release of Sweep: find the dependency and build folders your old projects left behind, see which ones you will never miss, and get them back with one command if you ever need them.

New

  • Scans any number of project folders for node_modules, .next, Pods, .venv, target, Flutter and Gradle builds, .dart_tool, .cxx, vendor, .build and ios/build.
  • Groups every folder under the project it belongs to, with monorepos under their workspace root.
  • Safe, Caution and Active, dated by your last git activity and the files you edited yourself, not by folder dates.
  • The exact command to rebuild each folder, picked from its lockfile, with a copy button.
  • Clean All Safe: one click for projects untouched for 6 months. Caution and Active are never picked for you.
  • Never touches anything git tracks, skips folders a running process is using, and shows what your disk actually got back.
  • Global caches for npm, pnpm, yarn, bun, Gradle, Maven, Cargo, pip, uv, Pub, CocoaPods, Composer and Go.
  • Treemap view, pins, ignored folders, CSV report, weekly scan and a menu bar total.
  • Free scan forever; cleaning with a one-time license for 3 Macs.
  • Automatic updates, signed and notarized by Apple.
